For a quasi-sci-fi futuristic twist, find a copy of King's THE LONG WALK (originally published under the psuedonymn Richard Bachman). It's not too long but it is one of those books that you will NEVER forget. A very disturbing kind of book. I have recommended it to several people and have never had anyone that thought it was less than great.
Of course, THE STAND is often recommended as the best King book. It is a fabulous book and certainly worth the read. Some people get turned off by such a large book though.
