Aw that is a hard question. I think I read them really differently as a kid. I loved the stand, read it as an adult and hated how it ended but loved it when I was younger. I want to re read them all. King is one of my keeper authors xxx
Tough one! I enjoyed The Green Mile. I bought it in the monthly installments over about 6 books (which I still have). Needful Things was great. I really enjoyed Bag Of Bones and also Funland…
Oo this is hard!! My favourite is probably The Stand (took a while to get into it but it’s amazing when you do) closely followed by 11.22.63 and Under the dome
The Stand, and The Shining. The shining was the only book made me not want to go to sleep. Those moving topiary animals…. and then my neighbour knocked on the door! After I detatched my fingernails from the ceiling I accepted her invite to go in for a drink, & by the time I got back @ 3am, I didn’t care about being scared.
Do you have the original version of the Stand or the enhanced version (put out much latter than the orig.) . . . . the enhanced version is very very good!
Not sure? I believe this cover (there are many covers with this novel) is the one I read . . . it’s the “uncut edition” . . . 1153 pages. The orig. was approx 800 pgs. I’ve read both, enjoyed both, but liked the uncut version much more.
It’s really a great adventure to read . . . I like your others by SK . . Talisman I read back in late 80s (bout time for a re-read) and The Shining I’ve read 2x . . . would be worth a 3rd time in fact. Pet Semetery was good but sort of creeped me out when I read it in mid 80s, as I had a young son at the time. Now that he’s 37. I should give it another whirl. Pet Semetery was also the very 1st SK novel I ever read, had never heard of him up til 1985 when a friend at work recommended it. Have read about 95% of his novels now.
It and then Misery
IT & Rage

The stand.. rose red
It’s got to be the very first one,that got me hooked on his books; Christine.Absolutely loved that book!!!
IT and salems lot
Mr Mercedes
How can I choose I love them all
Insomnia and Needful Things
I love most of Stephen King’s books. If pressed, I’d have to say The Dead Zone. The ending was so emotional, I’ll admit I shed a tear.
The Stand and ‘Salem’s Lot
Joyland
Gerald’s Game
Ooo good one!
It and Salem’s Lot
I love more than 1 I’m afraid… Misery, Carrie, the shinning, Dolores clairbourne, Christine, pet sematry, Gerald’s game and the Stand….It of course
Ooh, Dolores Claiborne is a good one!
I keep changing my mind about my favorite as I read the comments lol
Misery, hands down.
The Stand. It was my first”grown up” book.
The Tommyknockers – They made a two part TV movie about it in the 80`s that actually lived up to the book.
Anyone ever read his `Richard Bachman` books- I think he only wrote four under that name.
I liked Thinner. Believe it was a Bachman
Also Running Man and The Long Walk,
I read them all , I thought they were really good.
I’ve read one but can’t remember what it was called. None of the above. I’ve read so many books I can’t remember what they are anymore?
The Body.
Under the Dome
Duma key, Revival, Misery, storm of the century
I love Stephen King’s books but stand out books for me are The Stand; Insomnia; The Green Mile and Bag of Bones
Salems Lot, still gives me the shivers, and 11/22/63.
The Stand & Needful Things
Cujo…. it was one of the first books I ever read about 30 years ago and it was a shocker!!! Never forgot it….
Read that 6 times. Cujo made me a loyal King fan. ?
My favourite of his, is a short story. The Boogeyman. I still have to make sure my wardrobe doors are tightly closed at night. (and i’m now 42) ?
Me too ?
@Christine.
Tough choice, so many great stories. But my favorites are 1) The Stand, 2) It, 3) the entire Dark Tower series, 4) 11/22/63 and 5) Under the Dome.
I liked Regulators, but also The Bachman books
Carrie, hands down 🙂
I love a lot of them. I would have to say Gerald’s Game though.
It
Carrie and The Stand
Salem’s Lot, is my favorite!!!!
It , pet cemetery
Carrie was my first favorite. I absolutely loved Needful Things
Geralds game ….
Christine
Misery is my favorite.
Storm of the Centry.
Tough one! I enjoyed The Green Mile. I bought it in the monthly installments over about 6 books (which I still have). Needful Things was great. I really enjoyed Bag Of Bones and also Funland…
isn’t Funland by Richard Laymon?
Well spotted with my deliberate mistake!!? I meant Joyland – although Laymon’s Funland is a corker!?
Lmao I’m a massive Richard Laymon fan to ?
Yes, I have a collection of his rare books under his pen names Richard Kelly and Carl Laymon.
11.22.63
Was this the one where they holed up in a hotel? Like a war going on?
Agreed. All time fave. No Tina. This is about JFK assassination.
ahh i said i couldnt remember names of books lol
Unfortunately never read any of his books? but his new one with his son Owen King will be published this year so I’ll have a go?
The Stand, best book in the world.
Shawsank redemption

Dark Tower books. Loved them. Actually got lost in them twice
The Stand

Oh gosh I need to re-read them all now. I wish I could press a button and stop time to allow me to read everything I want to!
The Stand, though The Shining ran it a close second. Yes, definitely time to re-read!
Dolores Claiborne
Misery
Needful things – read him as a teenager – can still recall the book lol !
Pet Cemetery.
The Green Mile xx
Misery, I love the book so much and the film was fab too! Also really enjoyed Full Dark, No Starts 🙂
Not read that many but loved Misery
Loved IT but geralds game is fantastic!
Loved under the dome. At the minute I’m reading 11.22.63 am I’m loving it soooo much, amazing how he refers to IT in it.
I was captivated by this. one of the best books id read in a very very long time
It’s so good, every second I have spare it’s in my hand
I don’t usually read Stephen King but I did quite like Cujo

Salem’s lot
Salems lot my first one.
Insomnia and Green Mile. I can’t choose between them 🙂
The Stand, and The Long Walk…?
Oo this is hard!! My favourite is probably The Stand (took a while to get into it but it’s amazing when you do) closely followed by 11.22.63 and Under the dome
Green mile could not put it down – it really got me 🙂
The Stand, and The Shining. The shining was the only book made me not want to go to sleep. Those moving topiary animals…. and then my neighbour knocked on the door! After I detatched my fingernails from the ceiling I accepted her invite to go in for a drink, & by the time I got back @ 3am, I didn’t care about being scared.
Pet Sematary.
the stand thr tommyknockers
Couldn’t pick just one – would have to be IT, Salems Lot, Christine, Joyland, Insomnia, The Stand and Hearts in Atlantis. A x x
The dead zone
Firestarter and The Shining!
The Stand
Misery.
The Talisman, the one he co wrote with Peter Straub. Then The Shining, Carrie and Pet Cemetery. I’ve got The Stand but never managed to get into it.
Do you have the original version of the Stand or the enhanced version (put out much latter than the orig.) . . . . the enhanced version is very very good!
This one!
Not sure? I believe this cover (there are many covers with this novel) is the one I read . . . it’s the “uncut edition” . . . 1153 pages. The orig. was approx 800 pgs. I’ve read both, enjoyed both, but liked the uncut version much more.
Think it’s the uncut versio, I’ll try again : )
It’s really a great adventure to read . . . I like your others by SK . . Talisman I read back in late 80s (bout time for a re-read) and The Shining I’ve read 2x . . . would be worth a 3rd time in fact. Pet Semetery was good but sort of creeped me out when I read it in mid 80s, as I had a young son at the time. Now that he’s 37. I should give it another whirl. Pet Semetery was also the very 1st SK novel I ever read, had never heard of him up til 1985 when a friend at work recommended it. Have read about 95% of his novels now.
