Good round, you all. Lots of scores:
Round 4:
Bluedevyl - Don Quixote - #1 (25 points)
Kyle - Moby Dick - Didn't make the list
Stan - The DaVinci Code - #12 (14 points)
DMDarcs - HP Phoenix - #22 (4 points)
Phoebe - A Christmas Carol - Listed with Count of Monte Cristo as being a high seller but that numbers aren't reliable enough so it didn't make the list
Pete - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - #10 (16 points)
Eli - Lolita - #25 (1 point)
Tahlvin - The Cat in the Hat - On the list but falls short at 10m

I know James Patterson has sold millions of books but part of that is he's wrote so many. I don't know if any of them have had> 5 million and, if so, which one it would be as I don't know his work.
I'm going with something that's been around a while and has had movies.
Les Miserables

Argh, Dickens seems like a good bet but now not sure. This is kind of cheating because I thought of it thanks to a book sitting out here right now in my house, but...

Round Scores
Zen - Pride and Prejudice - On the list but short at 20m
Kyle - 1984 - on the list but short at 30m
Bluedevyl - The Little Prince - Movie and book expert? This one surprised me and was #4 overall. (22 points)
Stan - Les Miserables - Did not make the list
Lucy - Anne of Green Gables - This one tied Lolita for 25th at 50m copies, but lolita was listed first. Good guess though.
Eli - Watership Down - This one also tied Lolita for 25th at 50m copies, another good guess.
Tahlvin - The Wind in the Willows - On the list but short at 25m
I've added years they were released but going to change it up and not subtract points for correct guesses.
