Depends on what mood you're in. In my opinion, King's earlier works of Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary and The Shining are infinitely superior to such works as Dr. Sleep and Full Dark No Stars. Needful Things is pretty enjoyable, but a little long. If you are looking for a quick read, I think you'd get that with Joyland. And if you plan on purchasing Finder's Keepers next month, then it'd make sense to read Mr. Mercedes if you haven't already, though I can't comment on the quality of the book because I have yet to read it.

Just re-read your post. Didn't realize that list was what you had already read. Kindly ignore my first post.

Instead, I'd suggest something like Night Shift. Short, filled with many different types of stories, so you can jump around if a particular tale doesn't do it for you, and not a tremendous amount of devoted time required.

I'd also throw The Dead Zone out there or Duma Key (though it's a long one.)

Hey guys, I can't decide on what to read next. What are your favorites or recommendations?
I've read:
Salem's Lot
Pet Semetary
Joyland
Mr. Mercedes
Full Dark No Stars
The Shining
Doctor Sleep
Needful Things

The Stand and The Dark Tower series are my favorites. They are long stories,you might not want to start them now if your waiting to read Finders Keepers right when it comes out. I recommend reading Misery next.

One of my favourites is a little book called 11/22/63 - I read this back in 2012 and it led me to join this message board.

Another really good one (but a bit scary) is Full Dark, No Stars
It has Big Driver in it and also "A Good Marriage"
