One of my favorites is CUJO. This one scared me the most when I was growing up and it still gave me the willies 30 years later. It has it's flaws to be sure, but this bare-bones, unneutered, horrorshow is unparalleled in Kings universe. And after seeing the cover of "Picking the Bones", let Vincent Chong illustrate it.
A heavilly illustrated IT would be dang cool... I just re-read It (since I last read it in my early teens) and I had a nostalgia filled good time doing so too.
I would be torn about who would be best for illustrating it. Alan Clark? Glenn Chadbourne?? Whoever it would be, an illustrated 2 volume (to make it more readable) edition of IT would be beyond fantastic!!!
my vote is for MISERY. for his shorter works its a masterpiece, i prefer King straight up, neat, by the shot. Am I the only one who prefers it when the "bad guy" is human instead of supernatural ? As great as the movie is, i was a tiny bit disipointed by the horrific hobbling scene, as i had always wanted to know what a "salt dome" would look like! ( yes i do slow down at accident sites why do you ask?)

Not to get too off topic, but what did you think of Duma Key?

Duma Key = B+ Bag of Bones = B Lisey's Story = C-
As far as a S/L, I'd go with It. Not because it's my favorite of the non-S/L books (it's not), but b/c I think someone would do a really good job with it.
I liked it, but not half as much as BoB or LS.
The first part was excellent -some of King's best writing ever.
The second half....let's call it disappointing...

Interesting, I actually found I liked Duma Key more and more as it neared its conclusion. Some of the events towards the end were particularly moving for me. Awesome book.
