The Green Mile as suggested is a MUST READ you will surely love that one as I have not met anyone who didn't. I also recommend The Stand, it's long but the characters are wonderful and completely unforgettable. You would probably like Christine, It, Pet Cemetery.... Carrie -- there are so many to try.
