Like the Bible being the most shoplifted book (6)

I believe the answer is:

ironic

(Other definitions for ironic that I've seen before include "Perversely amusing" , "Sarcastically humorous" , "Paradoxical, contradictory" , "Type of situation where one is mocked by fate" , "Sarcastic or deliberately perverse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
