His books from the 1970s and early 1980s are readable. The ones after that are generally bad. I also thought the Stand was bad because he took an interesting premise and ruined it.
I think the only book of his I'd re-read would be The Shining, because it was so much better than the movie, and the movie was great.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

The first half, books 1-4 are very good. Book 4 is one of my all time faves

I thought The Gunslinger and Wizard and Glass were the best of the 7 original books.
