. The Bible
. Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell
. The Lord of the Rings series, J.R.R. Tolkien
. Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling
. The Stand, Stephen King
The first 4 do not surprise me, but The Stand does. This book was published years ago. King's books always have me sleeping with my night light on.
