I've got 20 books of king under the belt and going to rank them. Please some constant readers with way more experience than me , would u critique the list. Here it goes. THE stand...11/22/63...Dark Tower II, drawing of the three. ..Mr. mercedes. ..Doctor sleep...under the dome...Salem's lot. ..Desperation. ..The shining...Full dark no stars...the long walk...blockade billy. ..Needful things. ..revival. ..Dark tower I the gunslinger. ..joyland. ..from a Buick 8. ..Duma key. ..Rage and tommyknockers. Tommyknockers is in 3 parts and to me the first part is awesome then kinda went to crappy except for the last 40 pages. Anyways for fun thought I would put my two cents in here. Please don't hold back. Just wanted some hard corps king readers to see what they think of the ranks.

Hey its your BBQ. I don't think this question works for me because I started reading the books years after they were written because I was born into the "kingdom" late in the game. So the books like IT have this weird child hood nostalgic happy horror to them but then I read a book like Cell and I can relate because I grew up in the cell phone boom. So I just cant top twenty them it will make my brain hurt.

It's all your opinion, but you and I do differ in some areas. You like Desperation more than I and Tommyknockers is among my favorites.

Well, ranking is difficult but me personally would rank rage and revival higher and Dr. Sleep and desperation lower. And then there is the books you havent read yet. You are lucky to have books like IT, Coju, The Dead Zone, Misery, The green mile, Carrie and many more left to read. Lucky you!! To read books like that for the first time.....

I can only give you number one which is IT. Ranking the rest would be impossible for me I'm around 32-34 SK books read and have loved them all. Plus your list is your list you like what you like. No ones critique should change that. However it is a pretty sweet list!
