The Lord of the Rings. By J.R.R. Tolkien, is the second most read book in the English Language. But considering populations I would expect the second most read book in the entire world would be one of three. The Bible. The Bhagavad Gita. Or the Koran.

The Bible actually if you take the facts into account.

Is Alice in Wonderland the second most read book?

Alice in Wonderland doesn't seem to be the second most read book, although it is difficult to get accurate statistics. There don't seem to be even estimated figures available for the number of copies sold. Various sources suggest that The Thoughts of Chairman Mao, or The Little Red Book is the second most read book in the world, after the Bible. But Alice's Adventures in Wonderland consistently fails to appear on 'most read' lists at all, presumably because of the unavailability of statistics. It is claimed that Alice in Wonderland is the second most quoted book in English the English language (after Shakepeare), but again, there are no statistics to support this claim.
