The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books (Part 3) - Page 2

This is the 3rd part of a challenge derived from the book "The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books" edited by J. Peder Zane. Authors such as Norman Mailer, Annie Proulx, Stephen King, Jonathan Franzen, Margaret Drabble, Michael Chabon and Peter Carey name the ten books that have meant the most to them.
The favourite 10 books of 125 writers were tallied (544 individual books were mentioned). This list shows lowest-ranked books in descending rank. Note that if the books had the same ranking, they were arranged in alphabetical order. All but 7 of these books were chosen by only one writer, so there are quite a few interesting works to explore.
