The Shining
Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of the made-for-TV movie adaptation of The Shinning than the Stanley Kubrick version, simply for staying true to the novel.

   Stephen King has done it again... completely blow my mind. This book was very well written, with a great cast of characters. It also, in my opinion, had a great mystery aspect. I really did …

Misery
Desperation and, well, misery, fill this book. In a good way, though. One of the few King novels that didn't seem to run out of steam in the latter half, Misery is a compelling and terrifying read.

'Salem's Lot
Another one of Stephen King's best efforts. Some really great and memorable characters, and a really well-developed story arc with a really good climax (which is a little bit unusual for King).

Stephen King, It
Possibly Stephen King's (long-winded) best. There are a lot of really great scenes, and the way he shifts between the two more or less separate narratives works really well.
