Recommend me some Stephen King

[Feek]

I know it’s a tricky one because he’s written so many books.

I’ve just finished Billy Summer and enjoyed it. I’ve been reading various Amazon free self published books recently and they’re generally pretty awful, it was nice to read something by a ‘real’ author again.

So spec me some Stephen King books and justify your suggestions.

/edit - I don't particularly want 'horror' books.

Ta.

Have you tried his books under the Batchman pseudonym? I can't remember all the names, but it was a book with 3/4 stories called "The Batchman Books', pretty dark ones, it has The Long Walk, The Running Man and one about this school shooter kid, weird books but good!

Yes, The Long Walk is one of my favourite books.

I should say, I'm not into pure horror stories.

OK, Mr. Mercedes and The Institute are next on my list.

There are some great suggestions in here. I've already read some of them, specifically The Green Mile, Misery, The Running Man, The Long Walk, Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank Redemption and 11/2/63.

Finished Mr. Mercedes and The Institute. They were both good, the former better than the latter which was too long.

About to start Finders Keepers, the follow up to Mr. Mercedes.
