Best Sellers

Do you know the most popular book in the entire history of the world? You probably know or have guessed, it is the Bible, but what is the most popular novel in the history of the world?


That novel is about a hopeful and chivalrous gentleman on a seemingly hopeless and foolish quest. It was written by a Spaniard in the early 1600s and has not been outsold by any other novel in over 400 years.  I may have read it in gramnar or high school as  I know the essence of the story but cannot recall if I actually read the book or just heard the story. My little gray cells vaguely remember reading it way back then. Regardless, it is on my bucket list to acquire a copy to read either again or for the first time.


That novel is: The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes.(2)
