What is the most read book of all time?
Besides probably the Bible or any other religious texts.

Outside of religious texts, and required political texts (like are required reading in China), "A Tale of Two Cities," is listed as the highest selling book of all time at over 200 million copies. Your question asks about the most read book of all time, though. I am sure that, "A Tale of Two Cities," would be the highest seller, but not the most read. I know from my high school lit class that out of thirty students, only about ten of us actually read the book.
Next, we move to the second book on the list. Since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was actually written as one book, it comes in second with 150 million copies. Some might have an issue with this since this listing would be comprised of three books, and not one.
The, "Hobbit," is thrid on the list, and is one book. It has sold about 125 million copies, so that would be my statement as the, "Most read book of all time outside of religious and political texts."
