Blaze. I've read almost twenty of his books and Blaze has by far been my favorite.

I would recommend 'Salem Lot, Misery and Christine.
If you're into chronicle type of epic adventure lashes with supernatural elements, then give The Dark Tower series a try. Just push through the first book, it gets better from the second one.

Literally any book he has ever written!

My favourite is Christine, I also love the Richard Bachman stuff (King pseudonym) like The long Walk. Shining's epic, so is Misery. It, of course. Hard to say, they are all clearly Stephen King, but also all a bit different :)

Three years have passed, so you've probably discovered some Stephen King you liked or aren't interested in this any more, but let me recommend you the Langooliers. It's not one his most popular but it is definitely a good read.

Not many ppl listed this one, but it's one of my favs. CHRISTINE. The theme of the novel is pretty hilarious and meant to be taken that way. Every guy loves a new car, flips if there's a dent in it, ignores his gf for it. This is fun, doesn't take itself so seriously and has an ending to it. It's not a horror story at all so if you're looking to be scared it's not what you'll get.

The Dead Zone always impressed me.

Here is my list of books to read by Stephen King. They're in no particular order (chronological or otherwise)--here they are:
The Green Mile, Christine, Different Seasons (skip "Apt Pupil", the other three are great in my opinion though), The Shining and Carrie. I prefer his first ten or 12 novels. (Go to Wikipedia to find the chronological order of King's books and decide what you'd like to read!)

The Shining is one of his best. Also highly recommended are Firestarter, Doctor Sleep, Night Shift (great short stories), The Dead Zone, and The Dark Tower series.

I have just started reading King's books and i think he has become my favorite author! So far i enjoyed the most "The Shining".It was really scary.. Other than this I would have to say "The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption and It." I am currently reading Christine, I started it yesterday so there is not much to say.. To tell you the truth, I like his horror books, because he has a great way to intrigue your mind and imagination.
Chris
depends what you want
I think they are all good. Some are horror, some are epic. Some are kinda everyday with a twist. For a range without getting into the epics; Pet Cemetery, Salem's Lot, The Eyes of the Dragon, Lisie's Story. For a big one, try Under the Dome. He has 4 or 5 collections of short stories out, that's a good way to start also. They can get pretty deep. Over 20 of his books have connections to his Dark Tower series. His two latest are both good without being horror; Revival and Mr. Mercedes. None of the movies based on his books have done the books justice, so if you've watched a movie don't let that keep you from reading the book.

In no particular order, Firestarter, Cell, and Night Shift are all fine reads by Mr Stephen King.
