10. Duma Key (7.276353277) (90.95%)
I really don't have any problem with the Top-10 going into Round 3. All are great books. King is just such an amazing writer than it's nearly impossible to limit his oeuvre to just the ten best books.

Also, the above books break down chronologically thus:

1970s: The Shining (1977), The Stand (1978)
1980s: Different Seasons (1982), It (1986), The Drawing of the Three (1987), Misery (1987)
1990s: The Waste lands (1991), The Green Mile (1996)
2000s: Duma Key (2008)
2010s: 11/22/63 (2011)

So a rather fair and balanced career retrospective, in my view.
