Stephen King is one of my favorite writers. I've read some books by him (Dark Tower I-IV, Misery, The Stand, The Shining, On Writing) and the one I liked best was "The Stand", because it's the book with a more powerful message and with the better characters. Strangely, The Stand was one of the books from Stephen King that didn't "scare" me (the only ones who "hypnotized" me and got me with a "fear feeling" were The Shining and Misery). I'm definitely buying more books from this author, the top of my list being "Salem's Lot", "IT" and "Dark Tower V".
By the way, I've also loved the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" based on the author's short-story: "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".

My favorite has to be Bag of Bones. First one I ever read by him was Cujo. I was hooked. All I will ever read is his books. I have a nice collection. Just wish I could afford to buy all of them.

Stephen King is one my all time best horror/suspense writer but Its been so long ago since I read his books. I like the way he writes. Keeps me on my toes all the time with all the suspense he gives in each chapter. I have read alot of his books but can't remember one to name as my best book. I always have a hard time choosing favorites. :)

I really like Stephen King, he was a master at his own writing style, I still find it hard someone will ever write as well as him. I've liked Christine as a story, but my all-time favorite is certainly Golden Years, it's quite creepy.

I saw a TV Mini series based on one of his stories called Golden Years that I really like. It was about a man who was in a lab explosion and started aging backwards. It was kind of unusual for Stephen King because it was more SciFi than horror but then I like the SciFi element a bit more anyway.
I also saw the Stand in a TV miniseries but it was a little to biblical and dark for my tastes. I tend to be optimistic about the future so apocalyptic storylines tend to depress me.

I do!!!! I love Stephen King's novels. I believe his best novel is Salem's Lot. I love the original version of the movie and the remake.

I love Stephen King and have read most of his older books. Pet Sematary is my favorite. It is the first one I read and I was hooked.
