More people who identify as practicing Christians have read Fifty Shades of Grey than The Hobbit, according to a new study by the Barna Group.

For the poll, researchers looked at books that had some sort of entertainment tie-in—either books that already had spawned a film or television show or were on the verge of doing so. According to Barna’s data, Life of Pi was the most popular such book among Christians, with 37 percent having read it. That was followed by Twilight (22 %) and The Hunger Games (21 %), cornerstones of two wildly popular Young Adult series.

Fifty Shades was fourth, with 19 percent of Christians having read it, followed by Game of Thrones (18 %). Only 16 percent of respondents said they had read The Hobbit.

Researchers also found that just about 20 percent of Americans have read the Bible from cover-to-cover. Evangelical Christians were the most dependable of Bible readers, with 61 percent having read the whole Bible. However, nearly one in 10 people with no faith also had read the Good Book.
