Shah Rukh Khan is an avid reader and has read and has read many novels throughout the years. Keep reading to find out Shah Ruck Khan’s ten favorite books.
If you visit Shah Ruck Khan’s Twitter (now known as X), then you will see a lot of tweets and quotes from his favorite books. He is constantly mentioning what he is reading, plans to read, and what books have moved and inspired him. They vary from books for children to stuff that challenges the mind. I love when a celebrity does this because you can see what they are reading and what books shape them. More celebrities should do this or even just have a currently reading section so fans can see what they are reading at the moment!

An Amazing List of Books

There are some great books on this list. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is one of my favorite series and I am glad to see it here. Seeing Harry Potter and The Lightning Thief is always a good surprise as they are great reads no matter what age you are. These are all novels that many people read at a young age and just like Shah Rukh Khan, they are in many people’s list of favorite books, including mine.
I have not read The Hollow by Nora Roberts, the Dark Tower by Stephen King, David and Goliath or Refusing Heaven. Dan Brown’s the Da Vinci Code is overrated in my opinion but it is one of the best selling novels of all time so seeing it on many people’s list is expected.
Conclusion
