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.

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?
