I don't know about you guys but, as I am reading through his books again, I find my top ten list keeps changing. Even if you've shared your list in the past, go ahead and post again. As Annie Wilkes says, Be a Do-Bee, not a Don't Bee. LOL. Thankee.
(If you want to make a shorter list, that's fine.)
1. Pet Sematary 2. Lisey's Story 3. Firestarter 4. Misery 5. The Dead Zone 6. The Green Mile 7. Dolores Claiborne 8. The Talisman 9. The Long Walk 10. The Tommyknockers 11. Gerald's Game 12. The Stand 13. Bag of Bones 14. Cujo 15. The Shining 16. The Running Man 17. Christine 18. Roadwork 19. Joyland 20. Duma Key

HAHHAA...nope. I didn't include IT or 'Salem's Lot, either. I liked 11/22/63 very much, though. Your gif made me laugh and reminded me of something I was going to share yesterday. I was reading 'Salem's Lot the other night and I went up to go pee and some junk in the corner startled me (it looked weird in the dark) and I almost did my best impression of a fainting goat.

Top lists are a constantly changing yessiree I’ll hit 20 King books once I finish The Dark Tower VII, but since I wasn’t able to finish The Regulators purely out of boredom, I’ll use it as a free pass. I still have barely progressed through Floating Dragon by Straub. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I go through the longest reading droughts. 20: Song of Susannah 19: The Regulators 18: The Outsider 17: The Wind through the Keyhole 16:The Gunslinger 15:Drawing of the Three 14:Pet Sematary (Please don’t murder me doccreed) 13:Misery 12:Different Seasons 11:The Green Mile 10: Christine 9:Wolves of the Calla 8:The Shining 7:Needful Things 6:Salem’s Lot 5: The Wastelands 4:IT 3:Wizard & Glass 2: The Stand (It has occurred to me now that DT VII will actually be my 19th (heh) King book, so imagine all those numbers have been bumped up 1 because I’m too lazy to go change them)

Hey, you and Frank both chose a story collection in your list. It should be all novels. That's ok, though.

Neesy and Morgan, I'm curious what your top twenty list would look like. You can do a top ten if you want. neesy morgan
@osnafrank It's good to see you put The Tommyknockers on your list.

@osnafrank It's good to see you put The Tommyknockers on your list. I'm going to think on this and try to post at least a top ten list tonight. (I can always remember my top two, since I've read them so many times!) I started re-reading SK books in chronological order in 2014 and made it to Danse Macabre. Then I finished about ten of them in random order in 2017.

Starting with a top ten:
1.) Bag of Bones 2.) Under the Dome 3.) 'Salem's Lot 4.) The Green Mile 5.) Rose Madder OR The Stand 6.) The Drawing of the Three 7.) Duma Key 8.) Dolores Claiborne 9.) Revival 10.) Wolves of the Calla OR Gerald's Game
I know that Misery should be on the list, but it's been sooooo long since I read that one. Also, I really need to re-read Thinner, The Dark Half, The Long Walk, The Running Man and The Tommyknockers. Books that I'll never read again - TGWLTG, The Gunslinger, and...Cujo.

I didn't like Under The Dome. I will give it another chance one day, though. Bag of Bones definitely deserves to be number one. Oz's favorite, too.

I've read The Dead Zone probably three times and it needs to be on the list somewhere. Re-read The Shining a few years ago and that one just isn't a favorite for some reason. I enjoyed 11/22/63 and remember that I finished it in a few days, but historical fiction isn't my thing. Sorry neesy !!

Yeah, I started calling him Oz when I first met him because he lives in Osna (which, I presume sounds like Ozna) and because he's so far away. LOL

That's right! I didn't even put that together. Maybe subconsciously? Plus, he likes Kermit.

Thinner Sorry, Notaro, just now seeing this. I started following you today so I will now see your posts. I like your list, especially your top ten, but I'm surprised to see Mr. Mercedes ranked before Misery. But, this is why I like to see people's lists.
