Top Books
Which books would you expect to find in most of the libraries around the world? OCLC has updated its list of the top 1000 titles owned by member libraries--the intellectual works that have been judged to be worth owning by the "purchase vote" of libraries around the globe. I must admit to being surprised to see the top ten (ranked in order of popularity):

Bible
US Census
Mother Goose
Divine Comedy
Odyssey
Iliad
Huckleberry Finn
Lord of the Rings
Hamlet
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The whole website is fascinating for a bibliophile. Take a look at the Factoids and page with links to other lists. [top books] Listen to this article
