    I've read The Dead Zone, The Talisman, Eyes of The Dragon, and Desperation quite a few times.

    I am home now, and looking at my SK books, I also have
    Pet Sematary, read 2x , and Danse Macabre, never finished.
    Also there are pb copies of The Running Man, Roadwork, &
    The Mist. Pretty good list before from memory tho'.

    Along with Sai Kings books sharing that section of
    shelves are Robin Furths concordance 1 + complete,
    and Bev Vincents Road to DT.

    The answer is within

    all matter is energy, all energy is GOD

    You amaze me guys... to read a book 20 times. That's something. Whenever I reread a book there is a little voice in the background advising that I should read something new because there are so many good books out there... but thank God that little voice shuts up quite quickly.

    There are some books I have read 5 times or so but they are not from King.

    Roland would have understood.

    there's lots of books I've read 20 times or more, but I didn't learn English early enough to have read any King book such a lot of times. It's five or six times for It, three or four for The Stand, and at least two for any other King novel I've managed to get (except those I've listed elsewhere as my least favorite ones, like The Eyes or Lisey's Story). Those figures will grow as I grow older...

    Maybe, but I have over a thousand books, have read probably 90% of them, and still keep going back to King books. I haven't really worn out a King book, but I am VERY careful with them.

    Well, I'm always reading new books too. At any given time I might be reading as many as twenty books at once. Usually at least one or two are by King.

    I do sometimes have two going at once but not very often. If I were to count audios (which i really don't), I would have three going at once occasionally. Mostly though, I am reading one and listening to one on my commute.

    I admire your dedication to reading Brice...20 at once! How can you keep storylines straight?

    I'm usually reading about 4 or 5 books at a time.

    Simple...I can't. Well, of course that's not true. Within a couple pages of picking a book back up it comes back to me what was going on. I usually don't read quite that many at once these days (since the internet has swallowed my soul), but anyway I've just always read alot...everything I could get my hands on.

    If the Dark Tower is being judged as one book and I stood it up against Salem's Lot and The Stand they beat The Dark Tower. But still, DT remains King's lulling green flame, drawing me like a cat watching the flame that cooks the witch's brew. A fantastic flame that drew me in and still keeps me in King's universe.

    But I have a hard time choosing between Salem's Lot and The Stand. They're both great books. I've always loved gothic horror and Salem's Lot is my favorite vampire story to date. But The Stand is my favorite apocalyptic yarn. The buildup, action, and drama are totally different but just as enjoyable as the other. They're neck and neck. If someone who simply had to know for reasons of national security waterboarded me for an answer I'd pick Salem's Lot completely on the grounds of seniority.
