I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

I've only read one book by Stephen King and it was The Institute. It was really great, I couldn't put it down.

At some point I'd like to try The Stand and 11/22/63 which I've heard are both excellent :)

The Stand was amazing! I love post apocalyptic stuff and I was GRIPPED. It's really long though

The 1994 miniseries they made from it is pretty good. Also pretty bad since acting was still in the initial stages of being invented judging by several performances.
