For the people wondering why Shakespeare isn’t on the list, Shakespeare’s works are plays. This list is for books.

That was so weird. I went to type "Lord of the Rings" and accidentally hit the letter "t" on my way to hitting the "r"....resulting in "lotr"...which was the correct answer anyway.

I'm very surprised by the Madonna one. That book over all of Shakespeare? I'm not putting any sort of hierarchy here but we had to read Shakespeare every year in middle and high school so it surprises me that there aren't a ton of searches for, like, "Romeo and Juliet" for instance just based on the sheer number of school children that must be looking it up for information.

My guess is that people are looking up "sex" and then somehow ending up on the Madonna book due to a misconfiguration of Wikipedia's search function.

Perhaps Shakespeare has too many famous books that people search and it divides the research between all of them

I've seen that the wikipedia lists Inferno and Divine Comedy separately, but since the Inferno is part of Divine Comedy maybe it should be allowed as a type-in?

I would have thought "Grapes of Wrath" for Steinbeck before "Of Mice and Men". Both great novels though.

Of Mice and Men was on the UK literature syllabus and it may be the same in the US which may make a difference. As mentioned above, I'm a little surprised that Shakespeare isn't here for the same reason

Haha. That did not occur to me while taking this quiz. A lot of classic school-mandated novels on here. I wonder what percentage of views comes from students looking up the plot instead of reading the book.

FWIW, the source lists the Bible as having 112 million views, but they adjusted it down to 19 million since ~95% of views in 2020 and 2021 were on desktop. Apparently this means most of the views were "non-human," but they seem to just be guessing.

A lot of books with a recent popular film or TV adaptations, or that are required reading for high school students. Makes sense!

Anyone knows how wikipedia counts this? I mean, is this only in english pages or does it considers if you looked up the Bible in both in english or any other language? Just curious and I was not sure just by reading the source.

When I saw the name E. L. James, I thought, wasn't this the one who wrote that crappy romance story that was so popular in the last years, so I wrote Twilight. Close enough.

No way that Madonna one is legit. It's gotta be because of the title being the word "sex" and people are accidentally ending up on that page or something. I have never even heard of that book, don't remember ANY hoopla over it at all, and somehow it's up there with some of the most famous books of all time? Come on, something's weird here.

Very well-known book actually. Best selling coffee table book of all time and very widely talked about upon release due to it being so controversial. Personally, I’m not surprised it’s up there.
