Favourite Stephen King?

[vonzombie]

I started reading him when I was a young, young kid and will always be a massive fan for that reason if nothing else. I remember reading The Shining in the bath and being too scared to get out.

Anyway, top three? Probably The Stand, Cujo....maybe Carrie? Recently, Duma Key also proper gave me the heebie jeebies, although I heard a lot of people didn't like that one so much.

I should try more, I only read The Stand

Top 3 is The Stand, Pet Semetary, and The Talisman/Black House. I have been a huge fan of King since I was about 11 years old.

Coincidentally/paradoxically, the Dark Tower books are my favorites.

EPIC.

[lowdaddy]

i haven't read any of it in at least 15 years.  maybe 20.  but i read all his shit up until then.  faves are tough but i'll go with - the talisman, it, eyes of the dragon.

[BrianDamage]

You have to read The Talisman and the sequel The Black House. Straub and King are fucking amazing together.

I've read a couple of his and I liked The Dark Tower the best.  Although I felt the ending was a bit of a letdown. 

[Desertblues]

The Talisman is a classic.

Salems' Lot - First I ever read, still creeps me out.

Pet Sematary - Killing a kid, then bringing him back as a killer.  Cold.

[RacerX]

I also really liked The Tommyknockers, likely because it was inspired by Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space, another favorite.

Dark Tower series.

[acrimony]

i read the stand but i took too much time in between to read it so i didnt love it. I did like Christine a lot and the new one Dr Sleep I did enjoy. the amount of things in that mans mind is insane!!!

[mortlock]

I never read the books but based off the movies, im going with the shining..awesome movie..

[The Bandit]

1. Salem's Lot
2. The Shining
And a sentimental fave:
3. Firestarter

I haven't been reading much the last couple years and I know he's got some new stuff which I haven't read.  Other than that I've read everything he's written.

Dark Tower
Talisman/ Black House
Cujo tied with The Long Walk.

The Shining
Christine (sentimental - my first King at the age of 12)
Needful Things/Carrie/It/Skeleton Crew/Awholebunchofothersones

His recent work ain't too shabby either - probably because he's got his kid editing his endings, which where always his achille's heel.

12.22.63 was great and I'm currently 80 pages into Doctor Sleep.

[agent of change]

The Stand. Dead Zone. It.

He lost me around Insomnia for a long time. Then sort of won me back with Duma Key. Still enjoy his short stories.

His son Joe Hill is a pretty decent writer. I think I enjoyed Horns the most.

[Stonergrunge]

The Dark Tower books of course.

[The Bandit]

Under the Dome coulda used some editing, but it was way better than the show.

[Danny G]

First three Dark Tower books are mind-blowing

Doctor Sleep was great - a worthy sequel to The Shining.

My main beef with King is having to wait a year until his new stuff gets a paperback release. I think I need a Kindle.

[berrugal]

I could not read all of the Dark Tower ... around book 4 or 5, we only had photocopied sheets, not the books, and it was annoying. Then my friends got 6 and onward in hardcover from a series of birthdays presents, but I was stuck on book for or something. Someday.

I remember Hearts in Atlantida ? and Insomnia were connected to dark tower, and I liked them.

Pet Sematary relly scared me as a child.

But I would say that a couple short stories, one where trucks become alive, and other the Lagolieros that do strange things to time ?

Many many great books.

[Danny G]

He tied a lot of his books into Dark Tower. Which was pretty cool

[frobbert]

The best thing about The Langoliers was Bronson Pinchot (Balki from Perfect Strangers) playing a raging psychopath 

[Danny G]

Saw that back in the day and kind of enjoyed it.

But seems Stephen King translated into made-for-TV for some reason gets a lot of added cheese.

And yes, Pinchot was fun as a psychopath
