i've noticed The Stand being recommended here and on other web lists, so i'll give that a try as my first SK read. never saw the show/series.
I would never recommend The Stand. 1000+ pages, and the end just peters out. I will "third" the recommendation for 11/22/63. Oddly, I've never, EVER had an interest in reading romance novels, but the love story in this book absolutely captivated me.
