Famous authors on their favorite books
My favorite author is Stephen King. He's never once written a lousy book and even if I wasn't as crazy about one as I was another, not one of them was what anyone would call bad. So, what are his favorite books? Here's the list:
1. The Golden Argosy, The Most Celebrated Short Stories in the English Language – edited by Van Cartmell and Charles Grayson
2. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
3. The Satanic Verses – Salman Rushdie
4. McTeague – Frank Norris
5. Lord of the Flies – William Golding
6. Bleak House – Charles Dickens
7. 1984 – George Orwell
8. The Raj Quartet – Paul Scott
9. Light in August – William Faulkner
10. Blood Meridian – Cormac McCarthy
It wasn't what I expected either. I wasn't fond of most of these novels. They were too bleak in nature. However, I can see how he would find them interesting.
This is a reading list from Ernest Hemingway. Beautiful!
