Ten Most Popular Books

1. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien

The classic tale of Hobbits and Middle Earth, if you haven’t read it at last see the dang movie!
2. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

OK, I haven’t read this one, is there a movie based on this? Leave note in comments pls.
3. His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman

Never even heard of this one, have you?
4. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams

A classic! A counter-culture favorite!
5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, JK Rowling

After Diggory gets whacked by Ralph Fiennes this starts to get interesting, and the story becomes much more adult.
6. To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

Why this one is in a sci-fi list is beyond me, but a great book nonetheless. Extraodinary character development by a one-time author.
7. Winnie the Pooh, AA Milne

An all time kids favorite, believe it or not it’s all about overcoming fear.
8. Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell

Yeah, not sure if this is fiction anymore, unforunately.
9. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis

C.S. Lewis was a friend of Tolkiens, they learned much from each other. Read everything you can by this writer.
10. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë

Racy (for its time) sex scene in the garden! You might read right through it it’s so tame:)
