 Survey Lists Harry Potter, Fifty Shades and The Bible as Most Popular Books

A new survey has revealed that Harry Potter, Fifty Shades of Grey and The Bible have been named the most popular books of all time in British households.

Cook books by Jamie Oliver as well as The Official Highway Code were also found in most homes.

The survey also revealed that 25 percent people pretended to have read certain books to make themselves sound intellectual.

Elisabeth Robinson from Bookmark Your Library, who conducted the search, said it was refreshing to see how varied the list of books is.
