Hey folks, I've got a question for all of you. I'm now reading "Insomnia" but I'm pretty sure that I'll deal with it in a couple of days, so I wanted to ask for some advice on what to read next (I'm in a Kingish mood, so Mr. King's works, if possible). Any ideas on that?
BTW, to make it clear, here's the list of Mr. King's novels I've already read:
  • The Dark Tower
  • Carrie
  • Cell
  • Dreamcatcher
  • The Green Mile
  • Cujo
  • Salem's Lot
  • Under the Dome
  • Tommyknockers
  • IT
  • Misery
  • Pet Sematary
  • The Shining
  • The Talisman
  • Bachman's Thinner and The Running Man

I've not read insomnia, so I wouldn't know if anything transitions seamlessly from it, but I can see 3 books missing from your list that there really is no bad time to read:

11/22/63
Joyland
The stand

Joyland is a quickie if that's what you're after, if you want to sink your teeth into an epic, go for the stand or 11/22/63. All 3 are amazing.

J,
I see you have read The Shining. Dr. Sleep is a sequel to The Shining. What King books do you have at home in your to be read pile? I am reading Rose Madder currently, but have a fairly tall to be read pile. Waiting for Mr Mercedes at local inde bookstore. If you are in the mood for a twist on history, 11-22-63 is a great read, Joyland is a fun mystery, short stories, Everything's Eventual. Depends on what you want..Let us know what you've picked. 2014-05-30-11-26-34--147364421.jpeg

Thank you all! What a list. I think I'll start with 11/22/63 (the reviews really got me interested). Then Mr. Sleep it'll be. Undoubtedly. But first, let me deal with my Insomnia :)
Excellent choices. I have read 11/22/63 twice, it's my 2nd favourite book. Dr sleep was really good too.

If you want to read a book that is similar to The Stand, try Swan Song by Robert McCammon.
