It's my first Stephen King novel. I hope to read more. Any recommendations on what I should read next?

My first King novel was "The Stand" and that was 30+ years ago. I don't think I've read a bad one since then but the on that stands out most in my mind is "It". Scared the crap out of me, and that isn't easy to do.

I just listened to the "It" audiobook 13ish years after sneak reading it when I was 12 and it's still amazing.
King has so many classics it's hard to know where to start. 'It' is probably the best thing he's ever done, but I've always loved Salem's Lot. Of his more recent stuff, the two that have impressed me the most were From a Buick 8, and Joyland.
My two most favorite books of his are "The Stand" and "Firestarter". I read "Firestarter" when I was 11 or 12. Another good one is "Eyes of the Dragon".

'Under the Dome' is on my list of his to read as well!

I tried Lisey's story and wasn't feeling it, which is really unusual for me when it comes to Stephen King. I've been thinking I should give it another go. I LOVED Bag of Bones.
Same for me with Lisey's Story. The Dark Tower books aside it's the only SK book that I started and haven't finished, though I have promised myself I'll give it another go this year.
Tracy wrote: "It's my first Stephen King novel. I hope to read more. Any recommendations on what I should read next?"Omg...where to start. As 11/22/63 is different from some of his others, I'd say read Duma Key or Under The Dome. Insomnia is awesome too.
If this is going to be drawn out like Under The Dome then I won't be watching, if however, they have done the right thing and intend to have an ending, I'm 'very excited'!Please don't let them turn it into a soap opera Mr King.
Love,
A Constant Reader

LOL good one!
OMG, they're making a movie of it?? I LOVED that book so much, I read it when it was first published. Matter of fact I insisted that our book club read it too. I think this is one of Stephen King's mater works, it will be a fantastic movie!
It seems that the dread central weblink is broken.Also, do you have to have a hulu subscription to watch this mini-series when it comes out?

The CBS adaptation of Under the Dome was horrible - I understand taking liberties with adaptations, but the writers of that show thought, "hey, let's just change everything about the story - our ideas are better than Stephen King's" - yeah, uhh, no.
And the script was soap opera level writing.
Sooooo, since it's not on CBS (or even ABC, who has ruined SK books to TV often in the past), I'm hopeful about it - and JJ Abrams is involved?? Sold!
anyone know if movie will be anywhere else after HULU I pay enough to other servers not getting Hulu Plus but really want to see the show
