What do writers read?
Figuring that nobody knows books the way that writers do, J. Peder Zane asked 125 well-known authors (including Julian Barnes, John Banville, Sandra Cisneros, Margaret Drabble, John Irving, Stephen King, Norman Mailer, and Tom Wolfe) to list their 10 favorite books of all time. All 125 Top-10 lists can be found in The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books (W.W. Norton) where Zane also offers a composite list based on frequency of choice. The 10 books on which the writers bestowed the most kudos:
1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
2. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare
7. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
9. The Stories of Anton Chekhov
10. Middlemarch by George Eliot
