The Favorite Reads of the Great Writers

I love the idea behind this article that was sent to me by oedb.org and is titled, "The Favorite Books of America's Best Authors." Even the people that write the incredible books that we love to read must have a list of favorite books. This list compiles twenty famous author's favorite books.

Ernest Hemingway said of Mark Twain's, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, "It's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that." I love the idea of one great and legendary American writer complimenting another phenomenal American writer.

Two writers, Ray Bradbury and Cormac McCarthy, on the list named Moby Dick as their favorite book. I had to read the nearly 8-pound book the summer before my junior year in high school and unlike the other 60 students that also had to read it, I loved it. It is not my absolute favorite book but I still felt a great wave of accomplishment upon completing the famous book.
