It's hard to beat the early SK stuff - The Stand, Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Dead Zone were all great while stuff like Carrie, Firestarter, Christine and The Talisman were near great. I kind of feel like IT was the last prime King book, with the exception of 11/22/63.
Almost everything after IT felt like a throwaway and some of it was pretty bad (I'm stuck halfway through Wizard and Glass, so can't comment on the Dark Tower books). I couldn't finish Under the Dome and only made it about halfway through Doctor Sleep. I'm hoping King has at least one more 11/22/63 quality book in him but there is sure a lot of drek to go through in the mean time.
