Love The Stand. Have read it at least 3 times that I can remember.

While I will end up reading more Stephen King in the future, currently I have only read just one of his books. Pet Sematary. It was very good indeed.
Actually, it is pretty famous. It was his first novel and became even more famous thanks to the 1976 film adaptation. So famous in fact, that they are releasing a remake this autumn.

I prefer his short stories, so I'm going to go with Skeleton Crew.

As to novels, my favorite would be 'It'.

Either "It", The Shining or Drawing of the Three.

I did not like "Cell" at all. It was like half a story. I hate it when stories don't end.

On the other hand, King is godawful at writing endings, so this one might even out.

It also has one of the greatest names for an antagonist of all time....Leland Gaunt. Reading the name conjures images of a pre-Sauraman Christopher Plummer.

I'd have to go with The Stand too. First time I read it, I finished it in a couple days as it was so engrossing.

Well, I'm not saying "happy endings all around", but I don't think books are as effective with the "this is now over; go make up your own ending" approach, not for me, anyway. Personally, I feel like it's a bit of a let-down or a cop-out when it comes to the written word. "Darkness on the Edge of Town" by Brian Keene is another one that comes to mind.

I liked Dark Half. I remember reading it because I played the PC game, sucked at it and wanted to understand what the hell I was doing wrong. Same reason I read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

I loved The Stand. I was in Jr. High at the time and would stay up until 2 a.m. every night reading it for a week.

And I did like The Talisman and The Black House books he did with Peter Straub. Their connection with the Dark Tower meta-world pretty much kept me engaged. Ultimately it was the Dark Tower series that got me to read more of his books than I normally would have. By the time book 7 came around, my enjoyment of King dwindled, but I came back for the end. I would say it's his strongest work, even though books 5 and about half of 6 were rather boring in my opinion.

Hearts in Atlantis too - forgot about that one.

Right up there with his best, no doubt about it.

Not really a big fan of Stephen King but I did read The Running Man recently and I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Gotta love that ending where Richards flies the 747 through Killian's 97th floor office window ^_______^
Somebody totally needs to do that to most corporations today.....

Desperation/Regulators is my best experience with King in bookform
