Is there a "most read" module for Drupal? I want to create a "most read" block on my drupal page.

A:
Enable Statistics module, download and install views module.
Make a view and sort by any of the following criterion as per your choice
- Node statistics: Total views
- Node statistics: Views today
Choose a block display for view
Note: You can get started with views http://drupal.org/node/109604

Note, if you have a lot of visitors, doing this can kill your site, as it cost a lot of performance.

Huzur, you need to specify which fields you wish to display. Click on '+' add next to fields in the view and add some fields. The error shall disappear.

I would also have a look at Node Radioactivity. Its a better way of showing popular content on your site. Older "most read" pages have lesser weight than newer most read pages.

Yes of course you can. Either it makes blocks of its own or you can make a block using views.
