1. Misery. He wrote about the craft of writing, the whole thing was scary(unlike Cujo :p .) I barely got through the axe scene, he described it so well. And I loved reading the story in the story.
2.The Stand - I haven't read it but my brother has and he told me some things.
3. Carrie - i felt so sorry for carrie at the end. It was a good first attempt.
Oh, and my brother would kill you for saying Dream Catcher was one of his worst.

Alot of you are forgetting about Misery, i thought this was deffinantly one of his best , i also liked cujo, and salems lot

you posted that right after the guy who mentioned Misery..

i'm not the only one, two other people posted misery. :p

The Stand was the one King book that really stuck with me - an epic tale with a really cool post-apocalyptic world and the best ending (electric hand of GOD!!!) I could hope for.

The Dark Half was, for me, the coolest idea for a book - though it didn't come together.

I actually always prefered King's short stories - Skeleton Crew was passed around my Middle School like some kind of illicit drug.

I read Pet Semetary last month. Didnt much care for it. Im posting this here cause alot of people seem to like it...

Stephen Kings Best
 

I liked 1)it 2)misery

Yep, I personally think it is one of his best. Certainly one of his creepiest. It is actually one of very few novels that scared me; it kept me up nights. Lol.

i refuse to choose just three..................................
1)Pet Semetary
2)The Green Mile
3)Tommyknockers
4)Needful Things
5)The Shining
6)Graveyard Shift (until the very end)
7)Firestarter
8)Dolores Claireborne
9)The Dark Half
10)The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
11)Rose Red (awesome)
12)Storm Of The Century

First three in order, after that, no particular order. King is my favorite author, so asking me to choose just three is like asking a nymph not to have sex but once a day.
