Thread: Stephen King

Hi. I would like to see what books written by him do you recommend me. Eventually make your own 5 or 10 Top SK Books ever. It could also be novels.

For me my top 5 would be:

1 - The Green Mile
2 - Pet Sematary
3 - Salem's Lot
4 - Carrie
5 - IT

I think it depends what kind of stories you prefer...horror? thriller?

For me I'm more of a fan of thriller then the horror part and the build up of the stories.

I prefer his short stories but the whole Dark Tower series is rather epic.

If I had to pick 5 that were not short stories or Dark Tower...
The Tommyknockers
Christine
The Stand
Misery
Salem's lot

Ask me in a month and the list will change.

Most the good 1s are covered but any by this author are deffo worth a read in my book ...lol

I don't think he has really ever made a bad book, Now my friend who doesn't really read would not be someone I give the Stand to, but Night Shift would be a good "get to know" Stephen King book.

The Stand is the best imo

I would also suggest The Bachman Books (Rage, The Long Walk, and The Running Man).. also Salem's Lot is really good..

1. The Talisman
2. The Eyes of the Dragon
3. It
4. The Green Mile
5. Hearts In Atlantis
6. Carrie
7. Dolores Clairborne
8. The Stand
9. The Running Man
10. The Shining

1. Christine, a book that makes you miss your youth.
2. IT, a book that makes you miss your friends.
3. Black House, written with Peter Straub.
4. The dark tower series.
5. Cell, a book that makes you mistrust you technological wonders for a while!
