Thanks! I seem to have left American Vampire Vol. 1 off the list somehow, though. This troubles me.
Girl Who Loves Tom Gordon at the bottom, excuse me while I shed a tear for that poor, unloved book :'(

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT I DID WAS...
I separated King's work by decade (more or less: my divisions were to sequester the Bachmans and Dark Towers against one another, and divide King's work by decade (well, 74-83, 84-93, 94-03, then 04-now. I ranked all the short stories by book and then made mock-bracketology for myself. It was a lot of fun. Anyway! Of the Bachmans and the Dark Towers, Wizard and Glass would probably come in between It and The Stand on my overall King rankings...)
Everyone who loves Duma Key is a friend to bears
Everyone who places Wolves of the Calla high on their list automatically becomes a honorary bear

Bears, I'm glad we're friends and can live with not being an honorary bear, I guess. Thanks for posting bmc!

On Writing (or Danse Macabre) are tough for me to "rank" alongside his fiction, but were I making a King time capsule for future generations/ alien civilizations, I'd definitely include both. Two of my favorite books!
I love the short story picks; all three would make my top 10 (so far) for sure.
Not sure if you were around for these, but if you enjoy the "Short Story" by King well you may enjoy the illustrations here:

Not trying to "sell" you (they're sold out), but you may still enjoy what IMHO are some excellent illustrations of the stories. Enjoy!!!

I did not see those; they look incredible though. Thanks for furthering my knowledge Professor Merlin
Fantastic pics! Thanks for the heads-up.
Does anyone know if (and please forgive me if this is common knowledge/ already covered. I did a quick search but couldn't find the answer) the artist Glenn Chadbourne was the inspiration for President Chadbourne from The Reploids/ Dark Tower?
You're welcome, my young apprentice!! LOL LOLI did not see those; they look incredible though. Thanks for furthering my knowledge Professor Merlin
