I liked The Stand, The Bachman books (yes especially The Long Walk

), Hearts in Atlantis was great, though it tended to go a little downhill after about halfway. Tried to read The Tommyknockers, didn't find it that interesting. Didn't read Dreamcatcher, but I actually enjoyed the movie.
I think King is a pretty talented author, but I think he goes more for quantity and profit than quality, and has used up some of his creative genious already.
Would really like to read The Shining, thought the movie is awesome.
