I enjoyed King for a number of years but agree with those who feel that the overall quality of his work deteriorated after time. My favorites would be The Stand, IT, Cujo and most of his short story compilations. The man writes great short stories.
As far as the re-reading goes. There are certain books I pull out every so often to caress again. No real genre preference but for some reason I'm drawn to "classics" like Alas Babylon, Lucifer's Hammer, Reilly's Luck, The Apocalypse Troll and first person histories/memoirs.
For me re-reading a book I love is a lot like reuniting with a lost love.
