The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Don Quixote at 500 million + copies sold.

The bible holds the all time record for sales, but it doesn't qualify as a novel because it is too convoluted, confusing, and lacks a real plot that can be followed without considerable juggling. It certainly is the record holder for sales in poorly written books.

Frankenstein

SamL Level 7 Mar 8, 2018

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been credited to be far ahead of its time - in regards presenting the "scientific method" in a narrative. Can it be credited to be the first science fiction novel, I wonder.

The Lord of The Rings - but I don't know if it ever made the bestseller's list long enough to be counted. I heard that it wasn't popular when first published.

Harry Potter could be too "young" a publication to be longest running. (And I've not read any of it.)

The Bible is too obvious an answer for it to be almost a "distractor" for this trivia question.

I vote for To Kill a Mockingbird. But I don't know.

Correct, the bible is the longest running work of fiction in history.
