Thats a very broad question that depends on age and personal interests. Google 'New York Times Best Seller List' for a list of the 100 most popular books in America today. That will answer your question as far as what most (american) english speakers are reading. For a list of peoples favorite books you might have to dig around the web a bit, but it is easy to find.

What kind of genres do you enjoy? What age group would you prefer the book to be aimed at?

I have never personally read Sherlock Holmes, though I have wanted to. It comes highly recomended, but I expect the language to be slightly difficult to grasp as it is 19th century english. I could be wrong though, having never read it.

I'm currently reading Grapes of Wrath for school. A few years ago I wanted to read the Sherlock Holmes series, but never found it. If you're looking for something to read, I recommend the Divergent series.

It's a very difficult question. I would say most young people probably don't read Sherlock Holmes. Everyone has their own performances with regards to what types of books they read. But whenever a movie that is based on a book is about to come out, a lot of people try to read the book before going to see the movie. So if you want "popular books," it might be easier to get books that have recent movie adaptations.

That's a wide range question. It personally depends on your age and on your taste of literature. Personally I've never read sherlock Holmes, but I have read countless other books including James Patterson who is my favourite mystery writer. I try to read a little bit of every genre, but my favourites are mystery, drama and historical fiction.

I'm not the best at explaining things, sorry. It's a drama with a love story that's a thriller with some tragedy. If you liked the Hunger Games you'd probably like this series. Sorry I can't explain what it's about. I sat here for a few minutes trying to and I kept

Sadly, most Americans do not read books. It is the truth.

I met James Patterson at a book reading once, nice guy! But I find his work repetative. That might be good for beginners in english though.

I've read Sherlock Holmes and I reckon its easier to understand than other classics
