    guilty pleasure of sorts, but i've loved the majority of his early work since middle school. favorites include:

    the bachman books (the long walk and the running man especially)
    the stand
    christine
    pet sematary
    it
    the dead zone
    carrie

    his short stories are usually excellent... especially the night shift collection and skeleton crew.

    as popular opinion states, he has a bad habit of dropping the ball at the end of a few books, but definitely some great stuff along the way. i kind of fell off the wagon in the late 90s (quality dropped a bit), though cell was pretty enjoyable.

    I thought Cell was pretty good too, for a long while afterwards I was afraid of using my phone. Especially when I was walking around campus during the day and fearing all hell would break loose.

    My favorites are...
    The Stand
    The Long Walk
    Night Shift
    Four Past Midnight
