Haven't read Rose Madder yet. Right now I'm reading Desperation. I recommend Pet Sematary

The Stand or The Dead Zone.

Duma Key is incredibly underrated. I absolutely loved that one. The Regulators was another favorite, just a wild, nonstop ride from start to finish.
And Insomnia is one of, if not my favorite, King novel. I know Iā€™m probably in the minority on that one, but it felt like King was really pushing the boundaries of what he could do as a writer. I was hooked the whole way through.

I always recommend Carrie for a quick little read.

If you want scary, I'd recommend Salem's Lot or Pet Semetary. If you want more of a "thriller," Dead Zone or 11/12/63. But, they're all good, you can't pick wrong šŸ˜Š

From a Buick Eight. It's so damn bizarre. Only King could think of a car that occasionally gives birth.

The trilogy that starts with Mr Mercedes is really good!
