i would like to have a block on my drupal site(latest version) that displays most read pages on the website
is there any module/code available to achieve this?

A:
As Drupal does not have "pages" as atomic units but nodes, you probably want to have a list of the most viewed nodes, and then perhaps only of a certain type.
- Count the views per node (or content-type), look for a module that does this
- Create a view with the Views module that creates the list of most-viewed nodes
- Let Views output a block with that list
- Display the block where you want it

which is exactly the path you should follow using the statistics core module mentioned above.

You probably want to take a look at the 'statistics' module that comes with a default Drupal installation. It tracks node views and offers some rudimentary overview pages itself, but its data can be accessed and used from View module views.

While this is a quick and easy way to solve the problem, you have to be aware that this causes a write query on every node view, which can cause performance problems on a site with many visitors.
