Personally, I like the story of Julnar the Mermaid and Her Son Badar Bassim of Persia, and also Nur-Aldin Ali and His Son... I love those stories because of their bawdy depiction and language.

The most popular stories -
Aladdin,
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and
The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor
- are my favourite. I have read these stories and also a few more. To read all the 1001 stories told in 1001 nights by Scheherazade Fictional sultan's wife it will take lot of time. These stories have come in 16 volumes in English.
Some additional information about the story teller -
Sheherazade
Fictional sultan's wife who narrated The Thousand and One Nights.
According to the story that serves as the collection's framework, the Sultan Shahryar found his first wife unfaithful, and, after deciding that he hated all women, he married and killed a new wife each day. Scheherazade, daughter of his vizier, in an effort to avoid his previous wives' fate, related to him a fascinating story every night, promising to finish it on the following night. The sultan enjoyed the stories so much that he put off her execution indefinitely and finally abandoned the idea altogether.-
