I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

I really like pretty much all of his books.

Some of my favourites are:

Desperation

The Regulators

Black House

The Talisman

The Shining

Needful Things

IT

I haven't read as much of his more recent stuff post 2010 and what I have was OK.

If I have to recommend one book (which is really fucking hard) I would say probably The Talisman. I think...... Hahaha

cheeky edit I just remembered Under The Dome, fucking loved that, we'll ignore the TV shoe however.....

Just reading this properly now, what would you say are the best 3?

I really find it a tough choice when I comes to King as I really do love a lot of his books but if I had to choose 3 it would probably be

The Talisman

Black House

Desperation
