OCLC's Top 1000 Books
Got this from Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) via Boing Boing.
They've listed the 1000 books listed in the member libraries for the year 2005. More than 53,548 libraries in 96 countries and territories around the world use OCLC, so its probably as comprehensive as any list you would find.
And the top ten books are:
Number 1: The Holy Bible (various)
Number 2: US Census (various)
Number 3: Mother Goose
Number 4: Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Number 5: Odyssey by Homer
Number 6: Iliad by Homer
Number 7: Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Number 8: Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (Trilogy)
Number 9: Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Number 10: Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
For the list of the full 1000 books, you can read it here.
