IT and The Stand are my top 2 besides DT. IT is ahead and I am currently listening to it on my iPod.
I think this takes IT to somewhere in the 8-10 range. I honestly don't remember.

I think I've read Everything's Eventual the most (and I do mean basically the whole thing) and that would be about 4 or five times. But that's only because I'm constantly separated from my collection. I'm a college student and I kind of consider myself homeless now. I just stay with family members and skip around houses.. Most of my books are in my parents' place in New Jersey tho.
I plan to start The Stand again sometime in early 2009. Once I do, I think it will replace IT as the (non DT) book I've read the most...somewhere in the 7-10 range. I honestly don't know the exact number.
'Salems's Lot annually since 1976.
Wow!! Impressive!!! I just listened to that a couple months ago. It was the first time I visited the story since I read it years ago. I liked the audio version just as much as I enjoyed reading it years ago.

I agree. Ron McLarty does a fantastic job with 'Salem's Lot on the audio book.

Pet Sematary - 13 times ( had this book with me while I was deployed during my Marine days)
Shawshank and The Body - at least 10 times each
The Stand - 8 times
Low Men I Yellow Coats - 6 times
It - 5 times
The Talisman, maybe five times.
Insomnia, The Regulators and Desperation, Gerald's Game probably three times a piece.
Quite a lot of others have been read twice.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I think a lot of the books ARE tower related....
All the ones I liked had some reference to the dark tower in some way or had a character in them that was in the dark tower series..

wow. how have i not seen this thread before?
it's a tie between bag of bones and rose madder. and the talisman.
then all the short story collections.
Liz, for the purpose of this thread....if the novel doesn't have the words The Dark Tower in the title, than it isn't a DT book. So, even though we all know The Stand, IT, Salem's Lot, etc, all have connections to our favorite series...that is not the question at hand.Originally Posted by LadyHitchhiker
It is: Which non-DT book have you read the most and how many times?
I'm curious.
I still haven't started The Stand again...but I'm getting closer.
Looks like I'm with the majority here, The Stand.
i too have read the stand a fair few times, i approx 5? i have only read IT once, but i have re read four past midnight about 10 times. fire starter about 4 times. the shining thrice, i think i have all of SK books and have read them all twice (except IT - which is a recent buy)
Oh, mine would be Misery.
Either that, or Pet Sematary.
Wuthering Heights is straggling at the rear.
Yes, Wuthering Heights, random, I know.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
I don't actually know for sure which one I've read the most but I guess Desperation and The Long Walk must be in the most read list.
Wow, The Long Walk. I liked it but I don't remember too many people saying that that story is on their most read list.
The Stand
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Do you know how many times you've read it Jon? I think I'm at 5 for The Stand. I can't wait to read it again.
Pet Sematary, 3 times
Stand and It twice
I dont reread much, too many books......such a short lifetime
Sloth Love Chunk
Let's see, Cycle of the Werewolf more times than I can count/remember (certainly more than 30, maybe more than 40) and EotD about a dozen times. Those two are in the lead for me. The others I've read one, two, or three times but no more than that.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

The Stand. More then a half dozen, less then a dozen times read....
I'd have to say Duma Key..if you can count listening to the audio book, too. Each time I read, or listen to it I find something else I like..or missed.

The Stand and The Talisman + Black House

the stand at 3 times ...and it seems to be the main book most folks re-read .....eyes of the dragon 2 times ......i personllay love the book .......its like a terry brooks book almost with a SK twist .........

Malcolm X
I first read The Stand (my very first King book, actually) in 1984 and I've read it approx. once every 2-3 years since then. So, 11-12 times?
I've read most of King's books twice. 'Salem's Lot 3 times for sure and Christine probably 4 times. Night Shift and Skeleton Crew probably 4 times each.
But definitely The Stand is the hands-down winner.
