I am assuming that those two are still perennial sellers. If not let me know. What book SHOULD be on the list?

I’m not going to do your research. And do people buy the bible? They hand that shit out like candy at Motel 6.
Anything recommended by Oprah…
I would guess (though I am not sure) classics like “Of Mice and Men”, “Tale of Two Cities”, “Animal Farm” and “Invisible Man” would continually sell well. If nothing else they are selling for students.
@CaptainHarley has a good answer- I was just reading it. I was way off (except “Tale of Two Cities”)
On a different kind of best seller list, the Bible is also the most-stolen book. The free market at work?
@Not_the_CIA There is a phenomenally wide range of Bibles out there. The Gideons tend to use the KJV I don’t remember if the Gideons are okay with you taking their Bibles out of the hotels or not, but there are other translations, Bibles with more or fewer supplementary materials – footnotes, margin notes, reading applications, glossaries, concordances, commentaries, maps, unit conversion tables, and so on. When actually handing out Scripture, the Gideons tend to limit themselves to small New Testaments, which functions in this case similarly to an Abridged Version.
Well, we can only hope this little gem gives those outstanding literary masterpieces a run for their money. At least in France.
Anything written by Sarah Palin or some politician.
