To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee!
Recently, OnePoll.com found the 1960 classic at the top of the list with The Bible placing second. Made into an Oscar winning movie in 1962, Mockingbird has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. The Bible which has been translated into 2233 languages has sold an estimated 2.5 billion copies since 1815.
Third place? The 2001 top seller A Child Called It by Dave Peltzer. It’s the true story of a young boy neglected by his unstable, alcoholic mother.
Here is the complete list:
1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (1960)
2. The Bible
3. A Child Called It by Dave Peltzer (2001)
4. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray (1993)
5. Diary of Anne Frank (1947)

This list surprised me and made me wonder if an American list would be different. (OnePoll.com is a UK online marketing research company.) How about it?
