By Liz Taurasi

From “Sh*t My Dad Says” to “The Alchemist,” Scribd has released its list of the most popular book in each of the 50 states, according to an article in Parade Magazine.

If you’re not familiar with Scribd, it’s an e-book subscription, similar to Netflix, that allows users to download unlimited books to read for $8.99 a month. It boasts of having more than 300,000 books from more than 900 publishers in its vast library, and is compatible with all electronic devices.

What’s the most read book in the state of Rhode Island? It's “Raylan: A Novel," by Elmore Leonard.
