It appears that he is undoubtedly America's most read author. I have only read few of his books though: IT, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Long Walk, The Shining, The Green Mile. I think The Long walk stands out as the best one I've read.

Few days ago, I watched the films "Apt Pupil" and "The Dead Zone". the first one was a great thriller.

The first Stephen King book I read was The Stand back in 1991, and I will never forget the experience. It will always be one of my favorite books. I then read The Tommyknockers which I also found enjoyable. I remember reading Needful Things around 1993, but I don't remember much about it. I do remember that the movie came out right after I read the book and that it wasn't very good.

I've read bit of The Stand, and bought the DVD mini series version. It's about 7 hours or so.

The Long walk is really an underrated gem. I heard Darabont is making a film out of it.

I always interested in reading different books and wants to read "The Stand" which you have mentioned above...

The Stand, Salem's Lot, It, and the novella The Long Walk are the Stephen King works that I have enjoyed the most.

Another good one is "thinner". Has an Alfred Hitchcock type ending that I won't spoil...
