  Firestarter is my favorite SK book, but it doesn't seem to rank very high on other people's lists.

  For me the ones that come to mind are:

  I preferred Angels & Demons over The DaVinci Code. I remember when The DaVinci Code came out "everyone" preferred it over A&D.

  I like Richelle Mead's Dark Swan series better than Vampire Academy.  Also Susanna Kearsley's Mariana over The Winter Sea.  However, that could just be a product of it being older, not less liked.

  Me too! I enjoyed the snarkiness of VA but I really like the story and characters in DS better.

  I thought Joy in the Morning was much better than A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

  Do you ever find that you like a book more than the one the author is known for?
  
  Like, I always thought Unbroken was far better than Seabiscuit (though I read that one so long ago).
  I liked The Host better than Twilight, and The Loop is far better than the Horse Whisperer.
  
  What about you?
  

  Same here. I like the Odd Thomas series better then other books by Dean Koontz. I really liked Northanger Abby as much as Pride and Prejudice. I am not sure what Jane Austens most well known novel is but those two are my favorites. The Thief Lord, better then Inkheart.... man I just keep thinking of more each time I save this comment.

  I liked Deception Point better than The Davinci Code or Angels and Demons. 

  
  

  My favorite Anne Rice book is Memnoch the Devil, though she it's not her most famous one.

  Definitely. The Dan Brown and Stephenie Meyer already mentioned are true. Some others that come to mind...
  
  Tracy Chevalier: Falling Angels > Girl With a Pearl Earring
  
  Isabel Allende: Daughter of Fortune/Paula > The House of the Spirits
  
  Ann Brashares: My Name is Memory > The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants
  
  Amy Tan: The Bonesetter's Daughter > The Joy Luck Club

  

            40 books in 2014?
