@Amber Salem’s Lot, Doctor Sleep, Insomnia, Hearts of Atlanta, Rose Madder, The Tommyknockers. I have been reading King since high school which is over 35 years. I like most of what he write and have read most of it, at least once. Hard to pick my favorite.
So hard to name just one! I loved Bag of Bones, Misery, Pet Semetary, The Shining, Thinner, the Desperation books and IT….didn’t care for Tommyknockers and Lisey’s Story
I don’t hate any but I didn’t enjoy Gerald’s Game, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon or From a Buick 8 as much as others, even after reading them twice. Also my only DNF was blockade billy because baseball is not my thing at all and it bored me to tears.
@Erica if you could find the mini series they did on it thirty years ago that would be great. I still get chills when I think of certain scenes. Enjoy!
Hah! I honestly hope you enjoy it. This was the start of my long-lasting fandom of King’s books. I have read everything since. And, good on you making your dad happy esp right before Father’s Day.
I’ll let him know I’m reading it Sunday when I see him! He’ll get a good laugh and tell me how he read it when he was twelve lol he has first editions of all the classic King books. Thinking about picking him up the outsider as a gift, thoughts?
The bushes in The Shining still stand out as one of the scariest parts of a book to me. And then there’s the cat in Pet Sematary. Cold chills. But the little boy vampire hovering two stories up and looking in the window is still a standout scariest moment.

WHHAAAAAAT?
@Amber, I don’t read horror books
@Ngaire Stephen King does not only write horror books. ?
Pet Sematary
All his earlier stuff, but particularly Needful Things.
It’s hard to pick. It’s easier to say which you didn’t care for.
Well are there any you didnt care for?
@Amber Salem’s Lot, Doctor Sleep, Insomnia, Hearts of Atlanta, Rose Madder, The Tommyknockers. I have been reading King since high school which is over 35 years. I like most of what he write and have read most of it, at least once. Hard to pick my favorite.
Cell is not a fav either
Jeannine, i tried hard to read Lisey’s Story… He’s all over the place, as he sometimes does… Gave it up..
Cell was good enough… ?
@Debbie I loved Lisey’s Story and read it twice. I see it as a love story or SK’s attempt at a love story.
Cell is probably my least favorite or in my least favorites. But I did finish it.
Dream catcher
The Stand
Bag of Bones
I have only read two books by our favorite horror-Dad, but ‘Salem’s Lot was soooooo much better than The Tommyknockers
Sleeping beauties
The Shining
Rose Madder
It.
I just watched both movies and I really really want to read the book now
The book is so much better!
So hard to name just one! I loved Bag of Bones, Misery, Pet Semetary, The Shining, Thinner, the Desperation books and IT….didn’t care for Tommyknockers and Lisey’s Story
Wow…….ummmm….maybe……nope, too hard to choose one favourite. I’m more likely to be able to tell you my least favourite/s.
Which are your least favorites? Did you ever “hate” any of his?
I don’t hate any but I didn’t enjoy Gerald’s Game, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon or From a Buick 8 as much as others, even after reading them twice. Also my only DNF was blockade billy because baseball is not my thing at all and it bored me to tears.
Actually i really really didn’t enjoy roadwork because it was just so slow.
The Mist
The Stand and 11/22/63
I prefer his shorter fiction so Skeleton Crew
I totally am getting this one right now! I didnt know he had shorter ones!
@Amber he does lots of short stories. Four Seasons is also amazing.
@Jessica thank you!!
The shining
Me too. Long version!
@Ann long version?
ive only read the short version I believe
Green Mile
Cell
Every single book he wrote is my favorite ?
That’s a tough one. I’d have to say either firestarter or the long walk
Misery.
Gerald’s Game and The Shining
11-22-63
Pet Cemetery
The stand
Bag of Bones
There are so many, but my ultimate favorite would be It. On the other hand, if there had to be one I would not recommend, it’d be Joyland.
This might not count since it was co-written but The Talisman.
Needful Things
Desperation
YAS! That book deserves more love.
It is sooo good.
The Stand
Bag of Bones
Rose Madder
The Stand
The Stand and Insomnia

Misery @Elinet
11/22/63.
The Stand. I come back to it every couple years. ‘Salem’s Lot is a close second – the first book to give me nightmares.
I just started Salem’s lot today. My first king book!
It is an intense book! I read it over 30 years ago, and it still creeps into dreams. I know I should read it again as an adult…
I’ve been looking for a book to scare the word out of me so hopefully this’ll do it!
It may not have the same impact in the year 2018 as it did when I read it in the mid-80s. It is a vastly different world now.
Ahh well. My dads been trying to get me to read King for years so if nothing else it’ll make him happy lol
@Erica if you could find the mini series they did on it thirty years ago that would be great. I still get chills when I think of certain scenes. Enjoy!
Lorna Atkins I’ll have to look it up!!
Hah! I honestly hope you enjoy it. This was the start of my long-lasting fandom of King’s books. I have read everything since. And, good on you making your dad happy esp right before Father’s Day.
@Lorna Yes! I just got a chill remembering the television mini-series. I was WAY too young for that, but I managed to sneak around mom and watch it.
I’ll let him know I’m reading it Sunday when I see him! He’ll get a good laugh and tell me how he read it when he was twelve lol he has first editions of all the classic King books. Thinking about picking him up the outsider as a gift, thoughts?
@Erica You definitely should!
Will do! Thanks!
Needful Things
The bushes in The Shining still stand out as one of the scariest parts of a book to me. And then there’s the cat in Pet Sematary. Cold chills. But the little boy vampire hovering two stories up and looking in the window is still a standout scariest moment.
