1. The Shining
2. Pet Semetary

Only three? You're kidding, right??? I could probably come up with a list of his ten best (that's just novels; if we're including short stories as well, I'd need at least a Top Thirty), but THREE????

How about the three *worst* books he's written instead? Given that I love nearly all of his work, it's much easier to pick out the few that I really *didn't* like ;). In no particular order, here are my Most Disliked Three:

Dreamcatcher
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
From a Buick 8

Three best.....sheesh! :rolleyes: LOL.

Don't take this the wrong way, but why would you post this question and list your own three favorites if you haven't even read one of them??? In your intro post at the Newbie Forum, you stated that Pet Sematary and The Shining are the only horror novels you've ever read. I'm just wondering what possessed you to list Cujo as a favorite when you've never read it? I'm not flaming or anything, just honestly curious.

P.S. Cujo is really good, but definitely not one of King's three best! Just my opinion, of course ;) .

Dreamcatcher! That was the shitty one!

Anyway...........

The Shining
The Deadzone
Night Shift
The Dark Half
Salem's Lot
The Talisman.................really love this one

I really liked mostly all of them, but the ones that were not really so much horror a little less.
