      This could be made into a provocative list about Stephen King Books.

      I'm wondering how Tommyknockers got so low that The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon beat it. It's not my favorite, but definitely better than Tom Gordon.

      Surprised "The Stand" is getting so much love. I'm a big King fan, but that's probably his weakest ending EVER.

        I totally agree about the weak ending... the last quarter really let down the first 3, but I loved that book so much, I ... well, I can't defend it, actually. But, I re-read it a zillion times.

      Amazing, comprehensive list. It's been literally decades since I've read many of these. I think it's time to revisit several of them.
