I know.............hard decision. I liked The Stand. It was the first one I read. I think the books full of short stories are my favorites though. Different seasons rocked!

THANK GOD I'M A SOONER!
The Stand, for me. I've read it three times, and I never do that with books
Two others I liked a lot:
It - 95% of the book I liked but it really fell down at the end.
Pet Sematary - that book scared the bejeebers out of me.
Dead Zone.
Reason? It's the only one I've read.
Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining
#1 The Stand - obvious best
#2 Dead Zone
The Stand. I haven't read a lot of King, but that one is one of my all-time favorites.
The worst: I was trapped in a rainy lakeside cabin for a weekend and read a copy of "Gerald's Game" that was left behind by someone. The only thing worth reading was the epilogue.
The worst is the fairy tale one about a dragon. I couldn't get through a whole chapter. Oh, The Green Mile was pretty good too.Originally Posted by crawfish

Best: Needful Things
Worst: Rose Madder It's the only one I just couldn't finish cause it sucked so much.
The Stand and The Shining are two of my favorite novels. In his collection of short stories in Nightmares and Dreamscapes there are quite a few I dig. Dolan's Cadillac, Suffer the Little Children, and the Ten O'Clock People are good.
Put me on The Stand's bandwagon, too. Like others, it's one of the few books I've ever re-read. (well, with the Dark Tower series)
When I first read it, I was 12 or so, staying the summer at my Mom's. My bedroom had a smoke detector, with a red LED that blinked just enough to draw your attention every damn time. Creeped me out.
I got a bad mustache
a recurring rash
and not a lot of cash.
I spend it on my stash.
Man it's good to be a geek!
I have to admit that The Stand is my favorite, particularly the long version. I have read both versions, and the longer one goes into a lot more detail.
I also like the Dark Tower series, but there was one I missed. Can't remember which one though.

Holy moley.Dead Zone.
Reason? It's the only one I've read.
I also have only read one of his books. The Dead Zone.
The Stand, Dead Zone,Pet Cemetary,It,Christine,The Shining.
The Langoliers to me sucked, but the movie was just as bad....that's one i never could get into for some reason.
Shhhhh! Do you want people suspecting we're the same person again?
I mean, I finally threw them off the scent with that whole "Enrico" buisness...
The Stand was good. I also liked The Green Mile.
1) IT
2) The Stand
The Dark Tower series is my favorite, and the Drawing of the Three is my favorite of that.
I also love The Stand, and Black House, which he co-wrote with someone, is the most disturbing piece of fiction I have ever read, but greatness.
You...You look like your head fell in the cheese dip back in 1957!!!
Needful Things if I had to pick just one book.
But the Dark Tower series is by far his best work.
I taste terrific.
The Stand, Needful Things, and Different Seasons are all personal favorites...
But I can remember being in 7th grade or so, reading the uncut version of The Stand, and being unable to put it down... And then developing a cold about halfway through...
Cujo, Carrie, The Dead Zone, It, all great books... Haven't read any of the new stuff since right after Needful Things...
I just hate when they turn when one of his books into a movie, for generally that means the flick will succ... Cujo was the one of the worst movies I ever saw...

and yet Shawshank Redemption was actually quite close to the book. One of the only book to movies I've ever seen that did justice.
I taste terrific.
