Which SK book got you hooked?

Blaze was the first Stephen King novel I ever read, and it got me hooked. Right now, I'm reading The Stand; so many of you guys have been praising it, and I just couldn't resist.

The book that got me hooked was The Bachman Books. The first story, RAGE, was addicting, and I was in love with the main character. I think it was in the late 90's. I know I was about nine or ten. I've been in love with Stephen King ever since, but I think Rage will always be my favorite, even if it isn't the best he's ever written. It's real.

I love reading the similarities in every post. King has a way of hooking a wide audience. I think it is human nature to want to feel alive. Being scared or feeling intense fear hits on an emotional primal level. I have heard so many say, " It scared the crap out of me, but I have been hooked ever since!" King has a gift that not many others have.

I read Carrie first, but reading The Green Mile and then The Dark Tower made me a life long fan.

Eyes of the Dragon- I'm hoping to get my son hooked with this one as well.

I read The Stand in 1978, re-read it roughly 8 times before the unabridged version came out, and have read that one at least four or five times. Pretty sure that's my favourite!
