I've read almost everything of his and in addition to the books already mentioned I enjoyed a few he published in the 90s - Bag of Bones, Dolores Claiborne, and Insomnia. On Writing is really excellent if you are interested in his process or are an aspiring writer.

Full Dark No Stars was a great collection of short stories. I usually don't like short stories but I think Stephen King is one of the best authors at drawing you in right from the start. I've had other books where I feel like I have to force myself to keep going until I get hooked, but with his I'm hooked from the get go.

Everything’s Eventual. Short stories

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

NP, but no! It's so good!

Oh, so many!

The Stand
Christine (I couldn't care less about cars and LOVED it)
Mr. Mercedes (that one's the best by far but the whole trilogy is pretty good - they're amazing as audiobooks, Will Patton is great)
The Dead Zone
Deparation
The Green Mile
Dreamcatcher
Under the Dome
11/22/63
Duma Key (although I'd listen to this one as an audio book - John Slattery is SO good)
Just listening to Pet Sematary now - Michael C Hall is great
Revival
The Outsider
Hearts in Atlantis - this was SO good

The only one I've ever disliked was Cell

NP, I guess I'm going to have to read The Stand

SK books I liked.

Carrie
Misery
Thinner
The Shining
The Green Mile serial novel
Christine

Different Seasons or the Bachman Books.

Salem's Lot. The Stand, Night Shift, Skeleton Crew

The following Richard Bachman ones:
The Long Walk
Rage
The Running Man

Dark Tower series, especially Wizard and Glass (but start from the beginning of the series)
The Stand
‘Salem’s Lot
Shawshank Redemption from Different Seasons
The Eyes of the Dragon

Another vote for The Stand.

Different Seasons is interesting because two movies generated by it -- Stand by Me and The Shawshank Redemption -- are as close to the novellas as any movie I've ever seen track a book.

^not just

I loved 11-22-63 but it's a bit of a departure from King's other books style wise. I haven't read most of the classics since I was a teenager but the ones that stick out to me are The Shining, Salem's Lot, and Needful Things.

The Stand is one of my all time favorite books, just not SK book.

Another vote for The Stand.

Scariest for childhood me was 'Salems Lot.
