The top 100 books - of all time and of the last year - is out. It shows Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code is the big seller of the last decade, followed closely by JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels.

Interestingly - or distressingly, according to your viewpoint - the world according to Jeremy Clarkson is the 20th bestselling book of all time, measured by the system.

But 2010 is the year of Stieg Larsson - his The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and follow-ups easily top the chart.
