I have read Desperation(favorite), Dreamcatcher(Great), Salem's Lot(Great), Pet Semetary(Great), It (Great), Everything's Eventual (Awesome short story collection), All seven books of The Dark Tower Series(loved it, absolutely loved it.) Needful Things(Great), Night Shift(Great), The Dark Half(Great), Tommyknockers(Great). I am reading 2 books of his right now and so far I love them, Black House and Bag of Bones.
I plan on reading all of his works eventually. Everyone who like King's books should read The Dark Tower Series it is awesome!

Cujo
Christine
Different Seasons

A few more I'm sure, but that's all I can remember....there are a few new ones that I haven't read. I have many of the ones listed above, and collect his movies too. However, the books are ALWAYS better than the movie! Only a few have done the books justice! I'm glad to meet another fan -- keep reading!

Love 'em. Just finished Lisey's story and Cell. Have read at least a dozen plus the Dark Tower series. Really liked Insomnia.
Have to go back and read 'Salems Lot and some other early ones that I never got to.

Brilliant! I love his books, and I do wonder where on earth he gets his ideas from. My two personal favourites are The Stand and his recent Cell (which I read twice whilst on holiday it was so good). I think that Liseys Storey was good, but only towards the end, it is one of the few books that has taken me weeks instead of days. I found it really hard to get into. I also love one of his short stories, The Langoliers, it gave me the real heebie jeebies! They made a movie out of it and as with most of his books into movies, completely ruined it.

I love them and movies made from them too . My small problem with them is that there is a kind of recurrent theme in almost all his books :
1. MAINE
2. Outwardly weak and unlikely character turns out to be a HERO through GOODNESS .
3. True friendship is portrayed in a slightly unrealistic way .
4. EVIL that has an origin in various everyday behaviours and personality traits .
EDIT
To all horror fans here , I recommend a GREAT novel by James Herbert , called The Survivor .
I think it is easily scarier than ANYTHING Stephen King ever produced .

I love most of them
I liked Cell, 'Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Running Man, The Green Mile, Dreamcatcher, and I'm reading The Shining now and it's great.
I didn't like Gerald's Game, Dolores Claiborne, or Cujo so much.

Love! Love! Love! He such an incredible writer. He can write about the silliest nonsense page after page and still manage to make it interesting enough to keep you entertained!
I've read: The girl that loved tom gordon, the shining, carrie, everythings eventual, the dark tower books 1-3, pet sematary, the tommyknockers, nightmares and dreamscapes, salems lot, and a few other short stories.

Depends, really. His writing style actually hurt to read after about an hour. So it takes me at least a week to read any thing of his. King might actually be overrated, he's kinda like the literary version of the Big Mac.
I really liked "Carrie" and "Misery" though, and his overall plots are classic (how can you not love a car that kills people?) and translate well to movie scripts, his characters do tend to stick with you after you've read the book. Can't say I'd ever actually buy any of his books though, he's got enough cash.
