Stephen King's Top 10 Favorite Books Novels & Stories

I heard the echoes for quite a long time. “Corey. Just like that book about the girl who made the earth swallow everything.” She snorted. “You’re high as a horse, aren’t you? That’s Carey, not Corey.” I thought about it and realized she was right. I was high as fuck and I had just mistaken the name of one of Stephen King’s most iconic novels. We talked for a while mostly about things I haven’t spoken about before to a single soul. I felt better talking to her. She listened and shared some of her experiences with me which were mostly gruesome but given our current mood, it was all humorous.

I beamed, thrilled to be discussing something I was pretty familiar with another person. "Your all-time favourite?" "Ugh, I don't have favourites. I could narrow them down to the three I enjoyed the most. That's if it's okay with you." "More than ok" "I think they would be... Icebreaker, Do over, and It ends with us." "I know all three books. You have a nice taste for good books!" "Thank you," I said, trying my best to be very modest. "What is your most memorable project?" "Project?"

Blaze jostled. "I knew I would get along well with you." Emerald cracked a small smile. "You love reading books?" When he nodded, she asked, "Who is your favorite author?" "I have tons of favorites. Some of them are, Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki, Benjamin Graham, Peter Thiel, Emerald Relish, Ayn Rand, Chris Guillebeau, Tony Robbins, and many more." Emerald is amazed by his knowledge of most of the good authors. "I noticed most of those authors wrote classic or business books, but one of the names seems unusual," Emerald said.

He slapped my hand away with a hiss. "Favorite movies are Wizard of Oz. I still can't stop watching Lord Of The Rings and Die Hard. I can kill for Star Wars, The Tick, Fast and Furious film series, Glitch, and I can never get tired of Merlin, the funniest series of the century." He said buoyantly, voice bubbling with excitement and delight.

he explained, leaning back as Tyler brought our meals out. “Thank you.” I nodded to our waiter but kept my eyes on Darius. “Still, that’s incredible. And maybe I like the dark horror stuff? I enjoy horror movies, tv shows, books, graphic novels, and manga. I have a number of Stephen King books on my bookshelf at home. You probably didn’t notice when you were in my room this morning. And I adore Tokyo Ghoul. It’s my favorite manga series. And I own and have watched all fifteen seasons of Supernatural. And not just because Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are handsome.” I countered, pointing my fork at him before digging into my meal.

"Not that your work isn't good! I like the way you convey each character's thoughts!" The woman even laughed softly at his reaction, making her look mature behind her cute appearance. "No problem. I'm glad to hear your honest thoughts firsthand. Then, who is your favourite author?" "Stephen King," she said quietly, realizing that she must have looked like a fool to the cute woman's eyes.

He asked questions—not the shallow kind Damon’s associates had used to make polite conversation, but real questions. “What’s your favorite book?” he asked at one point, leaning close to be heard over the music. She blinked, startled. “My book?” He smiled faintly. “Yeah. Everyone’s got one. The one they can read again and again and never get tired of.” Mya hesitated, then admitted, “Wuthering Heights. It’s… tragic and messy, but there’s something about the passion in it. The kind that consumes people.” Keith nodded thoughtfully. “I get that. Mine’s The Count of Monte Cristo. Revenge, redemption, justice—it’s a story that makes you think about what really matters when you lose everything.”

There is so much I want to say to him. “Lilah?” Charles calls, bringing me back to earth. “Yes?” “I asked you a question.” “Oh yes, you did.” I give him a brief smile. “If I had to choose a favorite book, I would have to say—” “The Hangmen series by Tillie Cole,” Beau says before I can. I turn to face him with my eyes wide and my mouth hanging open. I can’t believe he just said that. “How did you know?”

“What’s your favourite book?” ‘Um… my favourite book… maybe the Kiss Me Softly series or In the Storm with You, but I also like Feeling Again and The Southern Brothers series. Between Us is my favourite sappiest romance, but not my favourite… Ugh, just pick one.’ “I can’t decide which book is my favourite. There are just so many that I love to choose from.” I sighed, defeated by my inability to decide on just one. My brain was so stressed that I was sure steam was coming out of my head with how hard I was thinking.
