The Gunslinger, The Stand, Cujo, The Talisman, and Pet Semetary.
Desperation is good also.
The Talisman. How could I have forgotten about The Talisman? Such a great story and features possibly my all-time favorite villian.

I can't do it in order. I have trouble picking artistic works and such. I also haven't read all his books yet so far BUT I'd go.
1: The Talisman - credit to Mr. Staub as well
2: Different Seasons - I feel Breathing Method is a bit out of place, though. A good story but I always thought something like less supernatural should in its place. Shawshank hooks you and is a wonderful tale, Apt Pupil and The Body are so great. It makes me wish novella format was more popular.
3: Wizard and Glass
4: The Shining
5: 11/22/63
with The Stand, other DT books (1-3 mostly but entire series is basically one journey.) and Dolores Claiborne probably bringing up bext places. It may change, though. The list I mean.

Until I read joyland and shawshank, the langoliers was 5th in my list on the old board. I love that story, it's a shame the others from 4 past midnight weren't up to its standard.
I see 11/22/63 a lot on these lists (including mine). I find it amazing that he starts in the 70s, his pre 90s work is generally considered to be his best, yet nearly 4 decades after he started he releases a book that is in so many top 5s.
I also have a really cool "paperback" of The Raft. more so a pamphlet.
I really wanna read my Gunslinger hardcover comic, just don't wanna open it

An interesting bit about IT is that its pretty much a fusion of several of his 80s work together and something new.

Major caveat: I've only read around 30 of King's novels/collections (so far). That being said, my Top 5 would be:
1. The Green Mile
2. IT
3. The Stand
4. The Shining
5. Night Shift
Salem's Lot and 11/22/63 just missed the cut. I'm curious to see if my Top 5 change as I read the rest of King's works.

1). The Shining
2). It
(The Shining and It are a close tie for #1, but the Shining resonates with me in so many ways I can't even articulate.)
3). Dr. Sleep
4). The Stand
5). The Langoliers. (Oh, crazy Mr. Toomy. I just can't quit you.)

That's the great thing about a book...either it grabs you or it doesn't, and if it doesn't it's no harm done and you simply move onto the next one!
(Psst, the first time I tried to read "It", it didn't grab me at all and I gave up on it when Ben received Mikes phone call. I picked it up later and re-started, kept reading, and bam--instant book love.)
