For me it's Misery, followed closely by The Stand.

The Stand. I've read it about three times (despite its length!). I'd follow it with Misery, Pet Sematary and 11/22/63.

_The Stand_ is my favorite Stephen King book and story by far. I have the 1978, 1985, and the 1988 C&U editions of the book, the DVD and the blu-ray of the 1994 ABC miniseries, and I intend to get the DVD or the blu-ray of the remake as well.

Of those I've read, I suppose my favorites are Christine and It.

The Stand, Hearts in Atlantis, Pet Semetary. and the four novellas in Different Seasons

[–] [email protected] (5497) 5 years ago

I should have added Different seasons too! Four great stories. I knew Stand By Me was based on a story and I always wanted to read it. I finally did. "The Body", great story. The Shawshank Redemption is great. I saw that film and wanted to read the story. "Apt Pupil" is extremely creepy, but a good story.

The Stand by far...followed by Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone and IT..
He does a mean short story too..

I was always particular to Crouch End and Jerusalem’s Lot among his short stories. The Jaunt was pretty sweet too.
