A best selling author known world wide for his many novels Stephen King is also well known for his voracious reading habits (he is often pictured at his local baseball stadium with a book in hand) and his Twitter account (you really do need to go and take a look at his Tweets about Molly AKA The Thing of Evil).
Often sharing with us his latest reads King is generous in his praise of fellow authors and after seeing a list on a website recently I decided to scour his Twitter account to see just how many books the man has read; answer – lots! Here are the latest sixteen books that Stephen King recommends we should all read.
Spent most of the day reading the second half of BEHIND HER EYES, by Sarah Pinborough. What the Brits call “a thumping good read.” Bravo!

I’m reading THE NIX, by Nathan Hill. Just started, but so far it’s got me laughing hysterically. First 50 pages are worth the price.

YOU WILL KNOW ME, by Megan Abbott: What an excellent novel. Gave me the creeps in the best possible way.

Laura Lippman’s latest novel, WILDE LAKE, is a knockout. You should get right on that.

The first great thriller of 2017 is almost here: FINAL GIRLS, by Riley Sager. If you liked GONE GIRL, you’ll like this.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, by Colson Whitehead: Terrific novel of escape, sacrifice, and redemption. Reminded me a bit of Larry McMurtry.

Loving THE TWENTY-THREE, by Linwood Barclay. You should treat yourself to the whole Promise Falls trilogy.

SLADE HOUSE, by David Mitchell: Hard to imagine a more finely wrought and chilling tale of the supernatural. One of the rare great ones.
