    That's not a bad idea... but I already read Carrie and the Shining and now I'm reading 'Salem's Lot. Those are his first 3 books.

    It's a bit off topic, but both my sister and her husband work here. When I was in between some of my past jobs I would come down and work part time, then this last time around the part time work turned full time when someone else left the company.

    As for the main question in the thread I like Frik51's suggestion of going in order. Sometimes he may reference characters or events from earlier books, not in a way that really spoils anything, but it is nice to already have an understanding of things that already happened.

    I know there is one coming out in November and what is his other book? The IT anniversary edition?

    Oh I most certainly will. The dark tower series is something I've always been meaning to read, as it's a fairly iconic fantasy series, and fantasy series are most certainly my thing.

    I wish i had 29 King books that I had never read before, just waiting for their first read.... Oh well, i'll have to settle for the 10 or so I have left. Good thing 2 new ones are coming soon!

    You've got 29 books left, including the five you mentioned.
    I would read these in chronological order, starting with whichever one comes first.
    Carrie by any chance?

    Insomnia is a very good book in my opinion but I have heard a lot of people that do not think so. Insomnia has a very long set up for the story but once I got into it I was unable to put it down. If you have some understanding of Greek mythology you will probably like the links to Clotho, Lagesis and Atropos as well. Of the books you listed the only one I would not read again is Under the Dome. I consider that one of Kings weaker books. My order for those books would be:
    1. Insomnia
    2. Full Dark, No Stars
    3. IT
    4. On Writing
    5. Under the Dome

    I liked Under The Dome quite a bit myself, and Full Dark, No Stars was very good as well

    Well, of those books, IT is by far the best. On Writing is quicker, but may not interest you if you are not an aspiring writer.
