I've always loved The Stand the best. I have no idea of how many times I've read it. I used to read it as my first book of the year for a long time. It's a big chunker of a book!! I also really like Bag of Bones. And It. And Insomnia.... I really like a lot of them. He is the master of making characters that stay with you after the book ends.

Hm, Dolores Claiborne.
I don't know, it was just very good. I don't really know how to describe why I like it.

I've sadly not been able to get my hands on many... I read Desperation, The Mist, and Cell, and a few short stories by him as well...
I think I like Cell a bit more then the other two, still, the most annoying ending ever X___X
I have not read It... pooey, heard it's good though

The book Blaze, under one of his other names is pretty good, I never finished it though... It's the surname he gave his younger works. it's one he found in a portfolio of his younger self's, so he decided to edit it a tad bit, but keep that raw edge it had, as he liked it, different and edgy to his other work, probably before he developed his current style, but still with some certain aspects...

Dark Tower hands down, there is no point even reading King if you aren't going to read this series. All of his books orbit the Dark Tower story, all of them exist because of it and his life and soul went into making it. He started it when he was 19, the first book of the series was the first book he ever wrote, it never got released until after he became a selling author. He almost died without finishing it, and when he recovered he spent all his time making sure he did finish it because he didn't feel he could die with it incomplete. If you are a King fan then that series is Stephen King, and everything else he does is just work.

Either Carrie, IT, or Desperation. I can't choose a favorite; many of his books are too good for that.

i agree with RB6K, the dark tower is by far his best book/books ever. he defied everyone when he went fantasy for a change instead of horror and it took the world by storm, it's the books that made him imfamous.

but other than the dark tower, IT, by far over everything.

I like The Shining more than any book of his.
The suspense and the thrill. I like cold weather in horror stories.
Great book.

I love Bag of Bones and was obsessed with reading it there for a while. My all time fave and the one I've read many many times is The Stand.

The Stand is an excellent book, But for sheer scale it's without doubt got to be the Dark Tower series, I have never been so disappointed about anything ending, He should have carried on with them forever lol

True but the 5th book was rather annoying to read.
Although I can't remember if it was that or the fourth that was the wolves one.....

Got to go with It as well, but his shorter story, The Body comes close behind, and Eyes of the Dragon...

The Stand is my favorite. A close second would be The Talisman because of how different it is from anything else he has written, but that could be because of Peter Straub who also helped write the book.

Big fan of Pet Semetary here. The movie was good as well, though not as good. Been meaning to get my hands on Full Dark, No Stars.

The Shining hands down, it's like the perfect book. I have only read it twice though, it scares the crap out of me.

I haven't finished another King novel besides that, however. About halfway through Misery right now. But I'm addicted to his short stories. Everything's Eventual is my favorite short story collection, followed by Skeleton Crew.

It's always hard to pick just one of something, Stephen King is the same. Every one of his books has such a different flavor too it... IT was the first one of his books that I read, so I'll always be partial to it, but I have to agree with the majority here - Dark Tower and The Stand are definitely at the top of the list. I'm also partial to the Green Mile.
