And why? Mine is the short story 1408, because it creeps you out before the action even starts.
I could never stand the Dark Tower, I really don't know why, but apparently I'm missing out. |

The Stand
Have to read it at least once a year |
|
|
|
I remember I read the uncut edition, it took me at least three weeks. OhGoditwassolong

|
|
|
All the Dark Tower series
|
|

IT was my favorite. And Needful Things. And The Stand. I'm still reading the last Dark Tower book. I love all his books. Why? Because he wrote them.

I think mine would have to be either, Desperation, Rose Madder, and Gerald's Game..

I think mine would have to be either, Desperation, Rose Madder, and Gerald's Game.. More good ones. |

The Dark Tower series definitely, The Dark Half, The Talisman as well.
|
|
|
|
desperation, dark half, black house, drawing of the three are my fav. S.K. books. The long walk (written as richard bachman) is the ultimate in mental dedication and inner turmoil.

The Stand... took me a month to read it.
Scary sh** indeed! |

Alright, my favorite is a book he wrote with Peter Straub. I love the way Jack "flips" and all the things that happen to him.
The Talisman |

The Dark Tower series is very deep and complex, especially if you read all the other books that are related to, but disconnected with, the series, including such books as The Stand, Eyes Of The Dragon, and so forth. Many of his books reference the Roland character in one way or another.
I like many of his novellas, such as Apt Pupil, or The Last Rung On The Ladder, and many others. As far as books go, I like virtually everything he has written, with few exceptions. Can't really pick a favorite, per se, but I did enjoy The Green Mile and Thinner quite well. Other works, such as Blaze, I just couldn't get into. That's not to say it wasn't a good book, I just didn't much care for it. |

The Shining
Salem's Lot It The Stand The Talisman The Dark Tower series The Dead Zone Night Shift and Skeleton Crew for his short stories Hearts in Atlantis The Running Man The Long Walk Rage Different Seasons Misery Pet Sematary The only book of his I didn't like was The Tommyknockers |

I think mine would have to be either, Desperation, Rose Madder, and Gerald's Game.. Even though The Regulators wasn't as good as Desperation, I loved how it tied in with it. |

I also have a book- Secret Windows: Essays and Fiction on the Craft of Writing.
It has two stories he wrote when he was like 11 and 12 for his older brother's neighborhood newspaper. |

I LOVE all of his books, but "THE STAND" is one of my favorites!
