Rose Madder got me out of a very abusive relationship ❤ I went to school (at 36) and took it with me every day, so I could pull from Rose and her determination, and get out on my own, with my son. At first, my social anxiety had me sitting sweating in my car, and I'd be holding that book trying to hype myself up. Now I'm an EMT, which annihilated my social anxiety 😅 its gone. EMS got rid of a lot of my fears, actually, through exposure. That book means so so much to me.

11/22/63 - my favorite fiction book of all time

[ChocolateJesii]

I have heard other fans of The Dark Tower say that they had a hard time getting into The Gunslinger. I had the opposite experience, it completely gripped me, if it hadn't I wouldn't have continued the series.

I know its technically Written by "Richard Bachman" but THE LONG WALK is my Favorite book written by Stephen King. I rarely ever read a book twice and I have read that book 3 times. Once in my teens then late 20s and again about 4 months ago while I was recovering from Surgery.

Agree with you 100 percent on number one. Salem's Lot is his best. I think it's the best paced novel he ever wrote. Curious as to why. It's probably due to his editor who more than likely became less effective with subsequent novels once King became so popular that he was granted carte blanche.

I LOVE The Shining! It’s definitely top tier for me, for sure. My favorite book ever. I’ve read it several times now and always pull for Jack, even though I know full well what’s going to happen. He, Danny and Wendy are such great characters and I just always want the best for them. The changes made for the movie are a net loss for me save for omitting the hedge animals. I can’t imagine how that could effectively be done on film without just looking cheesy. I do feel like the maze is a better visual representation of what’s happening than the hedges would have been. Wish they had kept virtually everything else though. Danny and Wendy are such good characters, I wish the movie only folks could get to know them too.

SALEM’S LOT is a peak book, truly. Great character development, great story, and terrifying. The 1979 TV miniseries was wonderful, as well.

I did a chronological read of Stephen King a couple years back (it took me almost three years to accomplish). That's one of my favorite reading challenges I've tried. I love King's work and even the subpar ones are incredible page turners.

I'm on Susanna's song now, after the dark tower series I'm gonna read your peaks next. I looooved misery, it's what got me into king. You need to read The Stand! Randall flag and a couple others mentioned in the dark towers series too, I love it.

[jacobsim]

Brother, you gotta read The Stand (The uncut version) if you like long stories. This one is awesome 👌

[Anthony-cjju]

Please read Desperation! It’s one of my favorite SK books. Note that it’s 100% better than The Regulators and a completely different story.

[jrgennybo]

Great video! Stephen King is a fantastic author🔥Currently reading Under the Dome and it’s really good so far!

[crystalsingh]

Really interesting ranking😊
My favourites are Salem's Lot, Wizard & Glass and Needful Things.

[snowysnowyriver]

Salem's That is my favourite too. I read it in 1976 and it has stayed with me ever since.

[cmgianaras]

The Stand, Christine, Cujo, The Dead Zone.

[michaelcolbourn]

Im looking forward to starting the Dark Tower series, but something I find weird is how many people say they love the series and its one of their favourite fantasy series ever, and then proceed to say how many of them are quite meh, or slow or confusing. So Im intrigued why people still seem to love it.

[bful]

Enjoyed this video. I’m still a newbie, currently reading my 10th Stephen King book (IT) and now I have an idea of what the next SK books im going to read, thanks to your video. I’d love to see another ranking video when you read them all.

It's really interesting to see other people talk about King books that I've read. I loved Fairy Tale; I think King does an amazing job writing the lengths you'll go to for a dog, but Revival was a slog for me until the end. I felt like I spent the whole book waiting for the book to start. I agree with you on Later, though, I really liked that one. This was a great ranking, I liked how you discussed your whys for each book with a great amount of detail without spoiling it.

I'm 12ish books deep already in King's bibliography, currently about to finish Sleeping Beauties (which I bought purely because I'd never heard of it), and although I'd just come from reading Pet Sematary within 9 days and starting and getting the hook of SB was a bit slow-paced, after the first 100 pages of its 700 plus, it just dragged me in. Unheard of, mostly, and maybe not for everybody's taste, I nonetheless think it's a great concept, idea, and execution. Also, the way King threads all the flanks, loose ends, characters, and converges them all throughout is superb. Anyone read it?
