GhostGiblet 10/28/17 1:30:33 PM #4:	I've read these of his: It Carrie Salem's Lot Misery The Shining Thinner They were all very good, some of them I don't remember a lot about because I read them several years ago. "It" is my favorite so far, but I'd recommend all of them. Carrie was his first book so might be a good start. Slightly different from the movie And I'm like 60% through The Stand, which is also very good IMO --- aka Snoopydance <cite>GhostGiblet posted [p:889314105] in What Steph...

reason 10/28/17 1:34:29 PM #5:	I've read nearly all of King's novels. I'd HIGHLY suggest The Long Walk and Rage. Also, Needful Things, The Hodge's Trilogy (Mr. Mercedes) and the first 5 Dark Tower books are good along with Eyes of the Dragon. Also, 11/22/63 is awesome! --- "Who knows where thoughts come from, they just appear?! - Lucus - Empire Records <cite>reason posted [p:889314278] in What Steph...

My favorite is book four, Wizard and Glass (since it's the backstory). But books six and seven you could tell were just lazily rushed together to finish it up. I think Dark Tower, in general, is insanely overrated due to the fact that King labels it his "magnum opus", which, IMO it definitely is NOT!
