Different Seasons is one of my favourites simply because it contains Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,also Nightmares and Dreamscapes is a solid collection of Kings short stories,The End of the Whole Mess being the best of these imo.

The Stand and The Dark Tower series are books everyone should give a try. They are fabulous books.
If you are the type of person that doesn not like VERY long, somewhat complicated plots, then giv ethese King books a go: The Long Walk - One of the most disturbing things you'll ever read...will have you thinking about this book WEEKS after finishing it. Rose Madder- Psycho cop husband beats his wife until she finally decides to run away...psycho cop hunts her down. Great read!

Most of his books are crap, but I liked Carrie best from what i've read of his work. Don't get me wrong, he has good storys or ideas, but I don't think he is a great writer.

Mothman, how did the assignment go? What did you choose? Next time you get an assignment like that I recommend choosing a classic horror writer like M.R. James. He was about 100 times better than King in my opinion...

I think my vote goes to "Misery" as the most realistic novel he has ever written. "It" was great and suspenseful too... "Pet Sematary" wasn't bad...
But I think "Misery" still takes the cake for me.

I have not read all that many Stephen King books so this is a great thread to get me started. Reading Firestarter atm for the simple reason that I bought it from a charity shop for £2. However I am enjoying it. Good story and a nice read in my opinion.

I loved IT because I'm not a clown person so it got me scared and on edge. Funny thing is, I was reading it one night and the phone rang. Made me jump but I answered it and I hear "Hello this is Pennywise." so I hung up! Turns out it was a lady named Penny Wise, who works with my Mom.
I am also enjoying Four Past Midnight.
