I really loved the stand

Oh if you're looking for new OP The Outsider from last year was really good and I really enjoyed some he wrote with his kid namely Sleeping Beauties, The Fireman (best one IMO) and NOS4ATU

It is my favorite. Even though I don't love the end. It is SK at his best IMO, using horror as an analogy to growing up. And I think when he channels kids and their psychology that is one of his great strengths.

I agree with 11/22/63 on the list and add Misery.

I really enjoyed the Mr Mercedes trilogy but I don't think I'd say its the BEST.

loved king. though the shinning movie was better than the book though...

It, Green Mile, Christine, Pet Sematary, Cujo, the tommynockers, four past midnight...

good stuff

Might not be the best but very good: The Long Walk

11-22-63 is not boring! It's amazing. There are a few slower parts but completely worth it in my opinion. It's a must read.

The first book gave me nightmares. I suppose that is a plug for it? Not my taste, though. I liked Misery.

I’ve heard great things, but being 800+ pages, is it drawn out and boring?

The Stand, Fire Starter. His scary books are too terrifying for me.
I read his new one-- The Institute. It was okay, not wonderful imo

The Dark Tower series is very good, although I heard the movie was terrible. I also liked the short story collection Four Past Midnight.

The first King book that I ever read was The Stand. It's still a favorite of mine. I also enjoyed Salem's Lot, Christine, Fire Starter plus many of the ones that you've mentioned.

I lived short story collection- Nightshift

Should add, I read Misery, Carrie, Per Sematary, Thinner, etc in high school. Wouldn’t be opposed to revisiting any of his old titles.

I’m on a kick recently. Read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, then revisited The Shining, read Doctor Sleep, now beginning The Institute. What else is a ‘must read’?
