I havent even read ten books yet to form a list, but I am getting close. I think its aweasome to see the differences in these list however. Its just shows how SK appeals to such a large and diverse audience. My favorite is currenlty Bag of Bones from what I have read so far.

I LOVE Insomnia! When I met SK awhile ago I just KNEW it was the first book I had to have him sign! And it's my book that he wrote Happy Birthday in (it was, obviously, my birthday) so now I love it even more! If it was more cuddly I'd cuddle with it.

I think people don't like it because it starts a bit slowly but when it picks up it REALLY picks up. And in my humble opinion it is one of the most well written, image filled novels ever.

And Ralph Roberts is soooooo real, the guy should`ve actually payed taxes.

I think the entire Dark Tower series is cemented at number 1. So, setting that aside....

Top 5
1. Desperation (My first, and therefore always my favorite)
2. The Stand
3. It
4. Duma Key
5. Black House

Least favorite 5
1. Cujo
2. Christine
3. Dreamcatcher
4. Misery (Liked it in general, but hated the book within the book you had to read through)
5. From a Buick 8

He totally reminds me of my awesome grandpa.

Wow, a lot of these lists are mostly made up of newer King work. I have to say I love the classics most of all. There are a few newer ones that are alright but my greatest loves are the ones that first drew me to him.

Favies, in no particular order:

Christine
Firestarter
On Writing (didn't see this one a whole lot on anyone's list but I absolutely LOVE this book- it's personal, informative, well-written.)
Rose Madder
Eyes of the Dragon (I have the two headed bird tattooed on my back!)

I can only pick 5? I could pick ten more, easy.

Worst
Cell
It (not necessarily a worst for me but I'm coulrophobic so I barely made it through the first time)
Hearts In Atlantis

Hmm. That's about as far as I can get without arguing with myself.

Best:
The Stand
Dead Zone
Dark Half
Firestarter
It

Worst:
Cell
Dark Tower IV (sorry but it had to be said)

Rage (which wasn't even all that bad, but I had to pick 5 and this one had a lot of backlash)
