Stephen King One of My Favorite Authors
There is one book and movie that I didn't like and found it boring. Many of you might disagree, but this is my opinion only. That book was "Cujo."
Some of his books have language that I would like him to clean up and some parts are degrading to women. But since I do like his writing style, I have looked past this.
OK die hard Stephen King fans, start throwing eggs at me! Ha! Ha! It will only mess up your monitor.
Stephen King is mentioned in Dog Gone Missed Opportunity It tells about his nearly missed opportunity.
Overall, King has an imagination most aspiring writers would die for. I haven't read all of his novels. This is my top ten list of King's books that I have read.

Carrie
Salem's Lot
Pet Semetary
Stephen King on Wikipedia
Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American writer of contemporary horror and suspense fiction; he has also written sci-fi and fantasy novels. More than 350 million copieshttp://www.usaweekend.com/09_issues/090308/090308king.html of King's novels and short story collections have been sold, and many of his stories have been adapted for film, television, and other media. King has written a number of books using the pen name Richard Bachman, and one short story, "The Fifth Quarter", as John Swithen.
In 2003 the National Book Foundation awarded King the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
Thinner
Thinner (Signet)
Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 12/31/2009)

Insomnia
Insomnia
Amazon Price: (as of 12/31/2009)
If you are a speed reader, then you might enjoy reading all 800 pages. It is a long book, but I found it interesting.
The Green Mile
The Green Mile - Six Volume Box Set
Amazon Price: (as of 12/31/2009)
Interestingly the Green Mile was written as a series of six novellas, King didn't even know how the story would turn out. It was wrote the read and a must see movie.
The Shining, the Movie
Stephen King did not have the control that he does now over the first movies made from his books. He was disappointed in the way the movie version of The Shining turned out. Years later, he wrote the script for the mini-series of The Shining; the way he had intended it to be.
In my opinion, sometimes less is better. I felt the mini-series dragged. OK, start throwing those eggs again!
The Shining
The Shining
Amazon Price: $12.48 (as of 12/31/2009)
This is when I become a big Jack Nicholson fan. This book really came to life on the big screen.
Shawshank Redemption
It
It
Amazon Price: $8.99 (as of 12/31/2009)
I never really like clowns. Anyone who doesn't show their face is hiding something.
Needful Things
NEEDFUL THINGS By STEPHEN KING 1991 FIRST EDITION GOOD+
Amazon Price: (as of 12/31/2009)
This is about a stranger who opens the Needful Things curiosity shop and the haunting ways it affects the customers.
