Salems Lot

your answer didnt have the words "the dark tower" and is such automatically wrong

and i would put It, The Stand and Talisman ahead of Salem's Lot

Salems Lot is good though

Wizard and Glass
The Wastelands

10/30/2005 11:04:47 PM

i realize that reader's poll is worthless upon looking back at their top 5

that said

"It" is still the shiznit

10/30/2005 11:07:27 PM

Hearts in Atlantis

10/30/2005 11:18:31 PM

Rage. It's a novella that they aren't printing anymore, last I heard.

10/30/2005 11:20:31 PM

yea b/c it was similar to columbine i think

i think it was in the same collection as Long Walk


which reminds me

the Long Walk is the shit

the eyes of the dragon <3

10/30/2005 11:30:24 PM

i agree

that was good and unique for him

flagg of course made an appearance

10/30/2005 11:59:54 PM

The Stand

10/31/2005 12:30:00 AM

The unabridged The Stand that was rereleased IMO is better than the orginal version. But its still second fiddle to the first 3 Dark Tower books.

Book 4 was good but not the best, and 5,6 kinda made me angry with the crossovers. I get why he probably did it, but still.

10/31/2005 12:37:23 AM

Salem's Lot was the shit.

oh man, how to pick. I loved them all!

Since nobody has said it yet I'll have to go with The Body

oh and Firestarter too

10/31/2005 9:13:15 AM

I like salem's lot too

10/31/2005 9:20:38 AM

have you people no appreciation for social commentary?



Hearts in Atlantis is BY FAR the best King novel EVER

10/31/2005 9:31:59 AM

dark tower series

the stand


and i always liked insomnia

10/31/2005 9:47:55 AM

Best individual (to me at least) would be Wizard and Glass. Taken as a whole, the Dark Tower series is incomparable (though I haven't read book 7 yet...)

10/31/2005 10:56:22 AM

fire starter

10/31/2005 4:46:32 PM

The Stand

though i immensely enjoyed DT 2

10/31/2005 7:05:22 PM

^^ seconded

10/31/2005 7:12:16 PM

The Stand was frikkin awesome as well

a masterpiece

10/31/2005 7:21:03 PM

the stand

10/31/2005 7:52:30 PM

Insomnia

/thread

10/31/2005 8:00:07 PM

The Stand and The Talisman are both the heat

Along with The Waste Lands

11/1/2005 11:12:18 AM

Desperation

11/2/2005 1:19:00 AM

The Great Gatsby

11/2/2005 2:13:58 AM

^^^ oooooh, yeah- the talisman rocks

11/2/2005 9:37:20 AM

It, Shawshank Redemption,and Hearts in Atlantis are my three faves

11/2/2005 9:48:46 AM

shawshank redemption? i had no idea that was his!

11/2/2005 10:44:58 AM

shawshank redemption isnt a novel, its a short story

11/2/2005 11:18:54 AM

The Stand

11/2/2005 11:26:40 AM

The Stand

11/2/2005 11:57:41 AM

I believe he refers to it as a novella. Longer than a short story; shorter than a novel.
And the full title: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption

11/2/2005 12:06:49 PM

^ yeah

The Long Walk and The Body (which the movie Stand by Me is based on) are novellas as well

11/2/2005 12:17:14 PM

Another vote for The Eyes of the Dragon.

11/2/2005 12:21:53 PM

The Gunslinger

11/2/2005 2:07:05 PM

that's right, i forgot it was in Different Seasons

Three quality movies came out of that. I dont remember "Breathing Method," but it would be neat if that became a movie too.

The other 3 are non-supernatural, is the breathing method??

11/2/2005 3:32:08 PM

The Running Man But seriously, it was much better than the movie (duh)...I also loved The Long Walk...still laugh when I think about the dude dry humping and getting blue balls so bad he gets shot

I loved The Stand...and there was another "novella"...i think it was the longliers or something like that (made into a crappy TV movie)

11/2/2005 3:52:42 PM

thats the one where they fly into a place that is after time

i mean he has a ton of novellas

but yes, The Running Man is good, the movie is only similar in the most basic plot elements.

plot has been done many times though, obviously King wasn't the first. It was just his take.
