I've got a ton of his books, I got them from my neighbor. So far I've read Carrie, Cujo, The Gunslinger, The Shining, Christine. The Shining was definitely the scariest, it was good. I didn't really like The Gunslinger, it's the first in a series. The other three were pretty good, I didn't really think Carrie was that scary actually. It was pretty good though. I liked Cujo. I don't have Misery, but I do have Thinner and The Tommyknockers. I think there was a Stephen King thread here before and a lot of people said The Stand was the best.

I read Stephen King's books when I have a lot of time on my hands. I've read Insomnia, The Tommyknockers, Dreamcatcher, Desperation, Gerald's Game and a few more that I can't remember.
I like his writing and Insomnia and Dreamcatcher are IMO the best books I've read. Desperation carries the prize for scariest, though.

My God, this is old! I've read 'the shining', 'Carrie', and 'Misery'. Out of them, i like misery the best because it has a really complex and interesting character, and a character, who now being trapped with the mental woman, has time to find the error of his ways. And you can find the link to this other, newer thread here.

First of all, just because an author is popular or 'commercialized' doesn' make him a bad writter. What the hell is it with people thinking it's 'cool' to like something just because no one else does?
Now for Mr. King: he is the best horror writter of all time. Like most here, The Stand is my favorite. I love the post apocalyptic, good vs evil thing. People don't give Salem's Lot enough credit. I thought it was a very good vampire book. I remember being scared for weeks to look out my window for fear that some kid would be floating there begging me to let him in. The Dead Zone. What a great idea for a book. Not really scary but a great book. The scariest book, for me, was The Shining.
