Scribd releases list of most popular ebooks by state

Image credit: parade.com

Scribd, the world’s largest online library and (basically) Netflix for books, just revealed the most popular ebooks for each of the 50 states. The list was calculated by determining how many times a book was read by readers registered in that state.

I love looking at information like this!
Some key take-aways I thought were interesting:

• Neil Gaiman made the list twice (LOVE!)
• There is far more fantasy than I expected
• Not one book is repeated
• There are quite a few older books
• There isn’t a single “big name” author on the list… ie: King, Koontz, Rowling, George R.R. Martin (though, this may be because people buy these books to physically have on their bookshelves)

Here’s the full list that I stole from Parade.
