As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to determine which book is the “No. 1” in the world as it can be subjective and depend on various factors.

Additional books that are considered to be widely read and influential include

“The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” by Homer, which are considered foundational works of Western literature.

“The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien, which are considered classics of fantasy literature and have had a significant influence on the genre. Again, it’s worth noting that determining the “No. 1” book in the world is highly subjective and open to interpretation. These are simply some examples of books that are widely considered to be influential and important.
