    I like your list because it is honest. I think people feel like they have to rank some SK books highly because they are classics. You didn’t have an obvious top 25. I think about Revival more than any other SK book I have read, so I was glad to see that one made your top 10. It is in mine too, but I still have several books to get through.

    I dunno, as for opening lines… I stopped reading King in 95 at age 16… and some of those lines just randomly stick forever (e.g. injun bring my fish); for me it’s “Jack Torrance thought: “Officious little prick.” 😂

    A great favorite of my family. The funniest includes the Market Snodsbury Grammar School Closing Exercises. Bertie Wooster and his friend, Gussie Finknottle. I can't remember the name of the book. Maybe "What Ho, Jeeves"? Also highly recommend the Blandings Castle series with Lord Emsworth. " Emsworth can't possibly have forgotten that! There's no limit to what Emsworth can forget." 🇺🇸

    I agree. I think we all have a book in our own top 10 list that would surprise everyone. My #2 is Black House. A lot of people don’t like it and I don’t get it. It has some of Kings best characters and such a great villain. King and Straub worked so well together. I put Insomnia in my top 10 as well. Such a great read.

    Hey man! That was a long watch! 😂 And I enjoyed every minute of it. Can’t agree on every book placement, but I have to say it’s a fair and very knowledgeable ranking (I haven’t read them all, and some I never will). I’m appreciate you’re not apologetic on your choices, some of the rankings i’ve seen spend more time back stepping than actually speaking about the books). About the misses: Would you consider a SK book: the comic Omnibus American Vampire? It will probably be on the back end of your list. Your list made me want to reread some of them, and give Revival a chance. Thank you, and i’ll keep watching.

    I've read 18 King's novels and 2 collections of his short stories. I don't know how to describe myself? Whether I am a complete fan of his novels or not yet. However, of the 18 novels I have read, "The Stand" is the worst on my list. This is not only the worst King's novel I have read so far, but generally one of the worst and most overrated novels I have ever read. I could divide "The Stand" into three parts: - the first really incredibly good 400 pages. People are dying, panic is increasing - it's great. - then 600 pages of multiplying threads, plus a bit of boring subplots - and the ending, which was undoubtedly written quickly just to end it somehow (no matter how) - which, after getting through 1000 pages of this book was a slap in the face for me as a reader. This story makes no sense at all and leads to nowhere. For me, "The Sand" is just a waste of time. However, this does not change the fact that King, next to Dan Simmons or Robert McCammon, is one of my favorite writers. I just don't have any admiration to this one specific novel. Maybe if I hadn't heard so much praise about this novel before I read it and my expectations wouldn't have been so high... Maybe. Edit: My fav King's novels so far are: Misery, Salem's Lot, Pet Semetary, Needful Things, It, Bag of bones... The order doesn't matter. Everything else is quite OK, Tommyknockers - as an ida for the stroy is good, but I had a lot of issues to finish this one. I put it aside and had a hard time coming back to it to finish it. The same as The Stand :)
