Bradley,
I have a lot of his books and have enjoyed quite a few of them.
Bag of Bones is one of his very best books. He is very strong on character development though sometimes his plots ramble and don't have the most saatisfactory resolutions.
Here are my Stephen King favorites.
Different Seasons
Bag of Bones
It
Dead Zone
The Shinning
The Dark Tower I : The Gunslinger
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
Thinner (as Richard Bachman)
and
From a Buick Eight (though this one I think is best enjoyed after reading other Stephen King stories first. I haven't met many people who enjoyed it as much as I did but if you have read a lot of Stephen King and especially those stories that relate to the Dark Tower tales it is a very good one)
Another Highly recommended read is Stephgen King's nonfiction Danse Macabre where he takes a look at Horror in various media from the last 50 years.
I found these Books to be enjoyable but not perfect:
Christine
The Stand
The Dark Half
Pet Semmetary
Ones that I would avoid would be:
The Tommyknockers
The Regulators
Firestarter
Dream Catcher
Good Reading (and Pleasant Dreams !
)
Cheers
Jamie
