10 books read and loved by Shah Rukh Khan

Did you know that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan loves to read? In the past, SRK had posted about the books he loved reading. He even posted lines from books on his Twitter handle; and so, it's easy to assume that he liked reading some of them. From Roald Dahl to Nora Roberts to Douglas Adams, here are some books and authors that SRK has read and liked.

In 2010, SRK shared that he reads all kinds of books, including science fiction, fantasy to non-fictions. "Douglas Adam kind of favourite. Da Vinci good fiction. Some screenplay books right now...and of course Artemis Fowl," his tweet read.

In an old tweet, the actor had shared that he too has read JK Rowling's international bestselling Harry Potter books. He further said that, like most people, he has 'The Lord of the Rings' books but he hasn't read them (yet). "Did read the first three Harry Potters then started waiting for the films. Lord of the Rings have the books...haven't read them," he tweeted.

Roald Dahl is one of children's all-time favourite authors across the world. And agreeing to it, SRK once tweeted in 2013 that he has read most of Dahl's books. "Roald Dahl is the most named author in the list of 100 books to read before u r 14. My feelings exactly...only Chocolate Factory not on the list," Shah Rukh Khan had revealed.

Malcolm Gladwell's non-fiction book 'David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants' was published in 2013. And in a tweet the same year, SRK shared with his followers that he is reading the book. Commenting on it, he had tweeted, "Reading David & Goliath. Effort over ability....challenge conventions...you have to be so bad that you have no choice but to be desperate..."

In 2014, SRK tweeted a line from Rick Riordan's 'The Lightning Thief' which stands true even today. "It's funny how (v) humans can wrap our minds around things & fit them into our version of reality" Riordan. Imprisoned by our own b&w walls," SRK had posted. Published in 2005, 'The Lightning Thief' is based on Greek mythology, and it is the first young adult novel in Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' series. The book is also adapted into a movie of the same title.

Similarly, in 2015 the superstar posted a line from Nora Roberts' book 'The Hollow' and it is safe to assume that he liked reading it. '“Do u c that out there? The strange, unfamiliar lite? It’s called the sun. Let’s go get us a little.”- Nora Roberts," SRK has tweeted. New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts' 'The Hollow' is the second book in the 'Sign of Seven' series and it was published in 2008.

Quoting Douglas Adams' from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', SRK had posted these lines along with his picture in 2015, "wots beginning? 1st-time lives cross each other? Or do things not begin at all, or are they always there? Douglas Adams time!". Have you read the book?

In 'Refusing Heaven', a 2015 poetry collection, Jack Gilbert writes about passion, loneliness, and sometimes unexpected happiness. Sharing a line from the poem 'Failing and Flying' from the book, SRK had tweeted in 2015, "“I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell, but just coming to the end of his triumph.“ What a lovely way to see…life.- Jack Gilbert".

Jack Kerouac's 1958 novella 'The Subterraneans', is inspired from his short-lived romance with an African-American woman named Alene Lee in New York. Sharing a line from the book along with his picture, SRK has tweeted in 2015, "What's in store for me in the direction I don't take"- Jack Kerouac. Nice. Free time on the Bkack Sea makes 1 reflective.`` And we assume the actor was reading the book back then.

In 2015, sharing a poster from his film 'Raees', SRK had written a profound quote by Stephen King. "The man in black travels with your soul in his pocket"- Stephen King. V have both White & Black in us, choose wisely," the actor tweeted. The quote is from Stephen King's magnum opus 'The Dark Tower' series.
