The Bible's number 1? Don't get me wrong, that's great. But I just didn't think it'd be included in the poll. Lol. |

HP should be first, but 2nd is awesome too and I guess it's good that people are reading the Bible. Way to go HP! It's definitely my number 1 favorite | |

The Bible being on the list isn't some radical statement of faith. It just means it's popular. I hope people don't take this poll the wrong way. If a lot of people like to read it, fine. It's just like HP. It's popular, so they chose it. | |

Well, at least I've read the entire top 10. Does this mean I am nerd or that I am well read? All those books are good. I have to admit Gone with the Wind and Atlas Shrugged were for American Lit because I would most likely have skipped them otherwise. Catcher in the Rye was a summer reading list but I really enjoyed it. I was not surprised to see the Bible as the top. | |

Gone with the Wind, Catcher in the Rye, and To Kill a Mockingbird aren't surprising either because they are the classic American novels. All three are my three of my favorite books and best written, in my opinion, of all time.

I didn't expect the Bible to be up there. Well, at least not number one. I'm quite surprised.  | |

That is too cool. Being in that age range I totally agree with the poll. Harry Potter is a good read no matter what age you are. It is easy to read to someone or read yourself. | |

Well, the bible is a dead give-away. So really, in my eyes, Harry Potter is number one, don't you think? | |
