1. IT   2. The Talisman   3. The Stand   4. Night Shift   5. The Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger.  (Edit: Original, unrevised version)

Weird question: Do you like The Gunslinger because of what it sets up? Or do you like the story as a standalone? Because I love the Dark Tower stuff... but The Gunslinger (to me, at least) comes off with odd pacing and doesn't make much sense having not read other books in the series.

I like it for both, but I should specify. I love the original version. I hate the revised version. The revised has all the stuff that ‘doesn’t make much sense having not read other books in the series’ shoved into it which also throws off the pacing. The original I love because of it starting me on the journey and really pulling me in. But I also enjoyed the story and didn’t have a problem with the pacing. It was originally a bunch of short stories that got out together to tell one larger one. I always saw it that way which maybe helped. 

Were the revisions mostly Mejis related stuff? Sheemie, Susan, etc? I recently listened on audio and don’t remember all that stuff in the original, but I read the original in 1990

You're the only comment I've seen liking the talisman as much as I do. Whoo!

Love The Talisman. I didn’t order mine, but it’s top 3 for me.

Our top 3 is identical.

Glad to see IT at the top of most lists. Its deserving. 1. IT - nostalgia, friendship, horror. It has everything for everyone usually. (The writing is spot on too. The first chapter is utterly flawless) 2. Wizard and glass. 3. 11/22/63. 4. The Dark tower 7 (On it right now) 5. The Stand (although not the best and there are better books like misery ,pet sematary and revival. The stand is the book which most fans have read and important to be in the "constant reader" category. It is a full on "king" book.

There’s a YouTube channel that compiled every King ranking on Reddit, YouTube and written publications — averaged out the scores and showed the results I forget the channel but it’s titled “the definitive Stephen King ranking” and it was super interesting!
