    Do you have any idea how many times you've read Salem's Lot, Cozener?
    How about The Stand?

    Ahh, I can only aspire to someday be able to claim the large numbers you all have here...
    I'm just getting started on Sai King's other books, having read The
    Stand and 'Salem's Lot this summer, and I can't believe I've waited this long to enter his world!

    I have Bag of Bones, The Shining, and Misery sitting on my bookshelf, but I'm currently re-reading Dark Tower again...

    *edit*
    Sorry, that was a bit off topic in this thread...

    Pick up Rose Madder, not only is it a fantastic book, but it is Dark Tower connected.

    For me it's also IT but I loved Skeleton Crew too.... Salem's Lot, Dreamcatcher, Bag of Bones and Duma Key are great too. Love the stand but not as much as the aforementioned

    Ah thats what you wanted to know? I thought you were asking if I knew how many times I'd read the books. It struck me as a rather odd question. I've read all three once. I'll get around to rereading The Stand and Salem's Lot. These two I'm sure I'll reread a few times but with DT, I'll likely reread 1 to 4 then 7...the last half of 7 anyway.

    First place is tied probably between The Stand (unabridged) and The Dark Half.

    I've read those two at least half a dozen times each. The Stand because it is one of the greatest King books IMO, and The Dark half because I just feel for Thad. I adore him in some weird way. I actually made my fiance agree to name our first boy baby Thaddeus.

    Just kidding. I am a one-man kind of woman, but I like reading two to three books @ a time, especially if I am not writing anything very challenging.

    This is a hard thing for me to pin down. I know I have read The Talisman and Black House twice each. I know I have read Salem's Lot and Needful Things three or four times each... I might have read the Bachman Books (It was four in one book) three times, although some stories (Rage, probably) I read a lot more. My mom's had the paperback for Insomnia since I was 8 or 9, so I'm pretty sure I've read that one at least 4 or 5 times, maybe more. I've read his collections once each except for Skeleton Crew which I read twice. I've read The Stand a lot of times, but I am really confused about how many times because I kept not realizing that I was switching between editions each time I read it, and it was driving me nuts how it kept ending differently each readthrough. I've read Eyes of the Dragon twice but I probably won't ever again because I read some really horrible Thomas-Flagg pedo-slash fanfic. IT I read twice and will probably read again. The Green Mile I also read twice.

    A lot of his books I've only read once, and will probably not read them too many more times, although I'll probably read Lisey's Story, Cell, and From a Buick 8 a few more times because I like them. And I will definitely read the Talisman and Black House a lot more times because they are awesome.

    ...this sort of makes me want to make a Lemur-Reads-King Timeline, lol.

    I've read The Stand probably 10 times. It's my favorite after the DT series.
