The Stand
Misery
11/22/63
The outsider because once you read it, you are going to like molly(crossover characters from his trilogy book “Finding Keepers” then read IT it’s really awesome yet disturbing.
Its the Bill Hodges trilogy and the crossover characters name is Holly. I wouldn’t read The Outsider first as it does kinda give spoilers for the trilogy.
The dark tower. You won’t stop after that one
ONE book ?
Gerald’s game
Misery
Agreed.
11/22/63
The Stand
A brief History of Time 😉
With all that time warping and so on. But King did write a novel (11/22/63) where protagonist uses time travel to prevent Kennedy’s assassination I think.
Thinner…
My favorite has always been The Mist.
SALEMS LOT!
IT
The Talisman
That’s my no. 2
I like it because it’s not quite so dark. You get the flavor of Stephen King but it’s not too bad for first-timers who aren’t necessarily into horror. The Stand and It, or maybe The Shining, are my top picks, but those are intense reads.
@Laura I would welcome intense.
11/22/63
The Stand or Salem’s Lot

That’s like asking me to pick my favourite child. Thankfully I only have one, which means it’s easy. Go for IT

“Carrie”
Oooh. Yes, Carrie is a good jumping off point
11/22/63
The Shining
This is so hard! I’m between The Stand and The Talisman – both of them are sort of the more ‘dark fantasy’ side of King’s works…
needful things!!
Depends on whether you “like” horror or not. I don’t. But I absolutely loved 11/23/63, which is realistic speculative fiction.

How is Sleeping beauties ? Is it good or just average ?
I’ve heard it’s just average but I just got it yesterday so I haven’t read it yet. I’ve heard that it’s not his best work though.
I enjoyed the premise of it.
