    Okay out of all the Stephen King books, which one do you consider his best (Including Bachman, Green Mile and Dark Tower)?

    Stephen King states that his personal favourites are Lisey's Story and Misery,

    And he dislikes Insomnia and Rose Madder (the latter of which I thought was excellent)

    How strange, I found Lisey's Story to be one of his weakest books and Rose Madder to be one of the more enjoyable!

    Just echoing other's sentiments here by saying The Long Walk is my favourite. However, I generally prefer his short story collections to his novels. His newest collection, 'Full Dark, No Stars' was very good, I thought.
    Different Seasons, Skeleton Crew, Everything's Eventual and Just After Sunset are all excellent. I wasn't too far gone on Four Past Midnight, though.

    Slightly OT, but I read some time ago that Frank Darabont, who directed The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist, had acquired the rights to The Long Walk and would 'eventually' get around to directing it. I'd love to see it on the big screen and couldn't think of a better director.

    I'm currently sitting in the hotel where Stephen King stayed, based and filmed the Shining on. It's the only place I can get Wifi as the town we are staying is flooded so ill have to change my vote from Needful things to The Shining...

    Finished 11/22/63 this evening. Thought it was fantastic, with King I find a lot of his books lull at some point but this held my interest consistently throughout. One of his best IMO.
