And why if you're so inclined to state the reason.
Thanks!

Oh gosh, you are loved by me! Haha... Well, I already told you in another question that Firestarter is my favorite... My second favorites are "Misery" and "The Drawing of the Three."
I love them both! Misery was great... I can still remember the lawn mower scene, and it seems so real and possible! It creeps me out... I couldn't get into it at first because I thought it was so strange, but a few chapters into it, I was hooked!
As for The Drawing of the Three, it was like slipping into a comfortable cream dress and walking on the beach... It just felt so nice and natural that I couldn't put it down... It was truely wonderful! I thought that it really did portray the characters correctly and that it didn't shy away from anything...

The Stand uncut is my all time favorite Stephen King book (I'm an avid fan of his) because the characters are well rounded and believable. A very close second is The Green Mile, for the story line. Rose Madder (I am really Rosie, and I am Rosie real) was amazing, if at times a little hard to keep up with. Misery was a good book as well. Basically, I love them all. King has a way of putting you on the edge of your seat while throwing funny curveballs randomly.

I have been sitting here for a bit debating about this, First I ran the Dark Tower Series through my head and remembered all the great things that Roland and is group went through and out of that series I have to pick, book 4 "Wizard and Glass." I honestly think that, that is by far his very best writing.
Now as I keep thinking, I have to say that also that "Eyes of the Dragon" was a very great book and very close to one of his best. I started to read this book when I was in detention at school one day and fell in love with it.
Sorry I am still talking but, I have to say something about 2 other King books. They are "The Stand" and "Cell". Both books take our world and twist life upside down for modern day characters. Everything is out of kilter so fast in both books.
It truly blows my mind, how Stephen King has managed to play with my imagination for so long and still be able to jump out and scare me around each corner that I turn. I am in the process of reading "Lisey's Story" and once again the master has managed to put me in the front seat of an amazing roller coaster ride.

I'd have to say Gerald's game! For one thing, it tells the story moment by moment in real time (for the most part), so you get drawn into it! The second reason is that of all the Stephen King books, this is the only one that had me scared to look in the corner of my bedroom when it was dark!

Can't believe no one's said 'Salem's Lot! I love it because, besides being a great horror novel, it has such great descriptive passages. He writes about small town life so well (the chapters that begin with "The town knew about darkness").
I have to give From a Buick 8 honorable mention, though. It never explains much about what the characters are afraid of--it's only concerned with how they DEAL with it. I can't think of another book that does that so well.

Part four to his Dark Tower series. It is called Wizard and Glass. It is action packed with probably the greatest romance I have ever read. I'm not one to shed very many tears when it comes to love stories or romance novels, but this one pulled my heart strings. I get choked up from time to time thinking about how great that book was. If you haven't read it, I encourage you to read all of the series.

Hmm - tossup between "IT" and "The Dark Tower"
I know the Tower is a series of his books, and many of his other books even tie into the Tower (if you look closely) but it's on top of my King lists....
IT, Eyes of the Dragon, Insomnia, The Stand, and many more - all have ties to the saga of Roland of Gilead, the last Gunslinger, descendant of King Arthur of Eld, who carries the revolvers of his fathers, forged from Arthur's sword......

Eye(s) of the Dragon- anybody remember this one? Awesome medieval tale with some characters you might recognize.
I loved it because it is so different from all other SK novels I've read.

Id say Dreamcatcher. I really liked the movie and what I read of the book was even better!
