If I were stranded on a deserted island, and could only have one book with me, this would probably be it. It's not the most intelligent answer, but it's true.

I've read The Stand from cover-to-cover probably 20 times in the past 15 or so years. I read it for the first time as a sophomore in high school, and still love it as much today as I did in the first reading. If anything, the story has grown as I have -- I relate more strongly to different characters now than I did then. I find different parts more horrifying now, and have a greater depth of understanding of the real terrors this book holds.

Fans of King have probably already read this book, possibly many times as I have. Fans of horror will appreciate the stark and believable nightmare King weaves in The Stand. But the truly horrifying part of the book -- the realistic and very possible biological disaster that signals the decline of society leading to "The Stand" is what gives me bad dreams. It's great stuff. I would recommend it to just about anyone that isn't afraid of the dark corners of what could be, and who is open to a horror story that is equal parts science and magic.
