I loved Hearts In Atlantis, Salem’s Lot, The Shining and The Dead Zone. Oh, and Gerald’s Game, Christine, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I’ve lost alot of sleep over those books. Thanks Stephen.

Also one of my favorites.

With some quick number crunching…
The “Other” category contained exactly 50 votes, added up as per how many votes they got per book.
Soooo, 35% of the total votes makes 50, which means a total of 143 votes were cast. (rounding up)

Every percentage equals approx 1.4 votes.
So The Stand, in theory, got 24×1.4, or about 34 votes.

Not very impressive when it’s put in raw numbers.

I’ve read nearly everything he’s written.

I always have a hard time picking out a favorite.

I loved Carrie, The Shining, ‘Salem’s Lot, The Dead Zone, Under The Dome, Delores Claiborne, Duma Key, Cell, Needful Things, Different Seasons, Skeleton Crew, Night Shift, Four Past Midnight. I think those titles are the cream of the crop.

But I don’t care for the Dark Tower series.
Neither am I passionate about The Stand. I liked it a lot though.

You need to re-evaluate your life. You’re missing out on one of the best writers of our times.

Reconsider. You may not enjoy ALL of his works, but to completely disregard an author as “not worth reading” is simply ignorant. No offense intended, but Mr. King is my idol as a writer, and I feel as though you should give a couple other books of his a shot.

I am surprised no one voted for The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. That is one of my favourite Stephen King novels! But it is hard to choose one favourite out of all of them.

Gerald’s Game was incredible. How King can write a woman so well is insane, AND I got physical shivers each time the villain showed up. Awesome.

I never considered Stephen King worth reading.

I think The Dark Tower series should have been an option as one pick. I think that would have tied with or come in a close second to The Stand. I would have picked the DT books as my number one choice as favorite SK novel(s).
