any stats on Tolkien's books on top 100 lists? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

all of us Tolkien fans know how good his books are and we have our opinion about how Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest books, but I was wondering if any of you know of it being on any Best Seller or Top 100 lists. I have a friend who is an English major and she hasn't read Lord of the Rings or think much of fantasy books, and she made a comment about it being widely read but not on Top 10 Must-Read lists. well, I don't pay attention to those lists myself, and I don't suppose it could compete with Homer and Shakespeare and all those great authors I don't read, but I'm sure it ought to be on some sort of top-100, best seller, or must-read list!
