He does have a number of short-story compilations that I enjoyed very much, though. Night Shift and Skeleton Crew stand out, but I don't think there's a bad one in the bunch. With his short stories he usually avoids the excess words and dragged out scenes that can make some of this novels a chore at times.
The pet semetary.
The shining.
Also IT by stephen king even though the ending pissed me off a bit.
But all these are by Stephen King and those are the kind of books I like.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
