-
The Shining has always been my favorite, but Amityville Horror and The Exorcist are very close seconds. The books are always better than the movies.
-
The Stand. Though, sorry to say, the movie was really 'stupid'.
-
I read Needful Things by Steven King. I wasted nearly half of a summer's free time on this book since it was so huge. I don't tend to read scary things as that fiction really isn't a genre that I am into. I prefer non-fiction.

Seize the Night by Dean Koontz
-
"Rosemary's Baby" but I think the fact that I read it when I was only 13 or 14 and had a REALLY high fever didn't help matters.

Imperial Life in The Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaran http://www.amazon.com/Imperial-Life-Emerald-City-Inside/dp/1400044871/ It illustrates how completely clueless and amoral the Bush administration was about invading Iraq. Example: They need someone to run the Iraq health ministry. The leading US expert on running medical care in a war zone (veteran of Kosovo and other war zones) is a Democrat. So they reject him. Instead, they get a Kool-aid drinking Republican from Michigan whose first act upon getting to Iraq is to initiate an anti-smoking campaign....in a war-torn country where people don't have doctors, or hospital beds, or antibiotics, or wound dressings, etc.
