Just a few more words relating to your "any SK book that isn't a "SK" book?" query.
The aforementioned On Writing and The Eye of the Dragon are the main books of King's that might fit such a description. On Writing is an excellent resource for aspiring writers. The Eye of the Dragon is a fairy-tale styled story that I found excessively naive, and the characters (why I read King) didn't get me involved. You might wonder about his Dark Tower series - but I wouldn't go there looking for anything that "isn't a "SK" book?" I have never managed to get to the end of the series (I might try again one day ... maybe), but those I have read are definitely SK books - and not even close to his best (IMO).
