Been thinking about mine...here goes. Like Hammerfan I also put "Series" instead of listing all the books in the series. I can't have one without the others.

1. The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Series) - Douglas Adams
3. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
4. The Hobbit & Lord Of The Rings (Series) - J.R.R. Tolkien
5. Catcher In The Rye - J.D. Salinger
6. The Chronicles Of Prydain (Series) - Lloyd Alexander
7. Sherlock Holmes (Series) - Arthur Conan Doyle
8. James Bond (Series) - Ian Fleming
9. And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
10. For Whom The Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway

It's like 40 books individually but who's counting :)

No, I like Horror a lot. I like Barker, Koontz, King, etc. They just don't end up in my Top 10 books of all time. I don't read them over and over. The complete poems and short stories of Poe could probably rank up there for me, but my two favorite Authors are Douglas Adams and Ernest Hemingway. I've read all their books several times over because Douglas Adams is everything I "think" about life, and Ernest Hemingway is everything that "actually happens" to me in life.

I could try to make a Top 10 Horror novels if I think about it for a little while.
