Desperation and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Desperation was the first I'd ever read, and would read gladly again and again. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon just reminds me of childhood, and I think it's an adorable book.

I don't think I'll ever read The Dark Tower series. I have a mother's that's been with them since the beginning, and her dedication scares me. Really, really badly.

Unhappy

Too bad I only read one of the Stephen King books and I really liked it. "IT" was the book I read. The clown scared the fuck outta me when I was like 8. The movie had a more lasting inpact on my sanity.

I love all that I have read, except It, but my favorite book of his is Pet Sematary. Its not a book, but the short story "the Langoliers" is my second favorite piece of writing of all time. (first being Romeo and Juliet, but thats not quite horror, now is it?)

I've read almost all of King's novels and most of his short stories. I love his writng style. He may be too long-winded for some readers who prefer a quick read with not so much detail to characters and places.

A Unaboner3000 Top 5 would include:

The Dark Tower series (best books EVER)

The Stand (very long, and very detailed in character developement, which I love.)

Rose Madder (exciting story, and a strong FEMALE main character)

Dreamcatcher (Alot better than that crappy movie)

Desperation (most "action-packed" of King's stories, I think)

books......

Bloodrayne, it was amazing how you could put thopse in order!
I know my first ffew favorites but then it gets hard.

From my memory, so I may forget a few:

Shining
Talisman
Salem's Lot
The Deadzone
Night shift
Carrie
The Dark Half
Needful things
Different Seasons
Tommyknockers

I guess a top ten, but I am leaving out a lot of good books that people have mentioned.

The Talisman was a hard book for me to get into, but at the end I was sorry it was over. Love that book!!!!!!!!!1

There's a new addition to The Gunslinger?

My fave King books so far are:

The Stand (my favorite story of all time)

The Talisman (great mix of horror and fantasy)

Black House (only have a few more pages to go and it's wonderful)

Eyes of the Dragon (great fantasy)

Salems Lot (best vampire book I've read)

Misery (very realistic horror)

Rage (luckily I got a copy of this. It's out of print now)
