I think this was mentioned in another thread, but I'm sure it can cause enough discussion to warrant it's own thread. Recently Vulture.com created a list ranking all of 62 King books. It looks like printed screenplay exclusives weren't included, nor were some short special editions of stories that got collected elsewhere (like "My Pretty Pony" and "The Little Sisters of Eluria")

Most won't agree with the ranking, but there are some interesting comments behind their reasoning.
FYI, I agree with the general trends they've got. I guess my tastes run very similar to the editors of vulture.com. Quick changes I'd make would be putting "Christine" a little higher, "The Long Walk" way higher (at least top 25), and "Thinner" and "Roadwork" quite a bit lower. I also enjoyed "Needful Things" more than they did. And I'd trade the positions of Dark Tower 1 and 2. But the rest are within 5 places in my book.
