Where to start and what order in which to read Stephen King's books?

Actually, Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp filmed a segment of Pirates on an island close to the mainland PR.

I said that before I got any further and read more posts - just the sight of Johnny so close to a razor sharp saw blade - are you trying to give your girl Sunny an aneurysm?
Not quite the type of Johnny photo that I enjoy.....
Yes, I have come to fear that the Giant One is trying to kill me.....
...no my love, I haven't invited you to join me for the rooftop view from the hotel in Yemen......yet....Not quite the type of Johnny photo that I enjoy.....

I know, Right!!!???!!!!!
(No offense, Sundrop, Johnny is yummy!)
On the original topic of this thread, I started my King journey in the very early days (relatively speaking) of the early '80s, so hard to be objective about where I think a good place to start would be.
One possibility is to start with Night Shift, read those short stories and get a feel for King's early writing. Then maybe go to some of the early novels and work your way forward.
I would wait to start Dark Tower due to its length and the different sort of story it is compared to most of his work.
Also, I would recommend reading all the Dark Tower related stuff first, then read the Dark Tower. That's how I read it, sort of unintentionally at the beginning, but I liked how that worked out.
