This is interesting. The Mic.com website went through Goodreads ratings for books. They looked at books that had been rated more than 50,000 times, and then sliced and diced the data to find the favorite book for each US state. The results? Uncle Stevie was the favorite writer of SEVEN states, and five of those chose "The Stand." (The others were "The Green Mile" and "11/22/63".)

The only other author or book with more than one state was Neil Gaiman's "American Gods."
