I've been reading Mr. King since I was about 8 years old and I have read all of the novels and a great number of the short stories (all the published collections and a lot of his magazine work), and I love reading them again after a few years. It seems he manages to weave a character into such an elaborate fabric that, with the growing of the reader, the traits that stand out in the characters change and different ones become relatable. I've purchased all of the available audiobooks and I love to listen to ones I've already read. It's like having an old friend tell you a story that you've heard before, but one you never grow tired of hearing.
