He has written so many damn books. Not all of them are great, but a lot are at least good.

My favourite Stephen King book is actually a collection of short stories called everythings eventual because I prefer shorter horror stories (like King I enjoy Lovecrafts work) but if I had to pick a full story it would probably be It. I have been meaning to read the Dark Tower books for years but still haven't gotten around to it.
Haven't read that many, but of the ones I have, my favorites are:
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
Misery
Salem's Lot
The Stand
A lot of his novels I like things about, but they just get too...odd. Insomnia for example. It started out great, but when the protaganist starts seeing little bald men with ribbons above their heads, it just lost me. I still finished it, but I was expecting something different when I picked the book up. I guess I'm not too big on the supernatural stuff, which could also explain why I liked Misery so much, short as it was.
