I just read pic related and it was preety good. What other stephen books are good. I've heard Dark Tower is preety good and a movie is coming out soon for it. I'm contemplating reading that or reading more of the bill Hodges trilogy.

He really is a pretty meh author, read a lot of his books as a kid because my gf was into him. From what I remember, The Stand and The Long Walk were his best books.

It really depends on what you like. Seeing that you like sci-fi and just generally pulpy stuff, I would recommend reading that and then climbing the latter onto more "literary" stuff. Luckily for you, some God-tier authors and stylists wrote pretty pulpy books.
Dick, Roberto Bolaño, Thomas Pynchon, Raymond Chandler, Murakami, and DeLillo have writtem some pulpy and/or sci-fi books who are pretty God-tier, although some of them might give you trouble.
Read The Savage Detectives, Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and most Chandler books and then move on to more complicated stuff like Pynchon. Along the way, you should be able to find more stuff you like by branching out from those.

Joyland was pretty comfy tho it fails as a horror

I think the long walk is overrated, but I did enjoy it for the most part. The ending had much to be desired.

The Dark Tower is awesome. 'The Gunslinger' is a really good book, even outside King's production. The movie is going to suck hard.

IT and Misery are legitimately good.
Different Seasons is a great short story collection.
The Long Walk is alright.

The Stand is great until they settle into Boulder. The rest is shit. The Long Walk is overrated.

The first four Dark Tower books and Wind Through the Keyhole are good. After that, not so much.
His Bachman books are pretty good, as is most of his early stuff.
Of his later stuff: Lisey's Story, the time travel novel, and Duma Key are the most worthwhile.
Avoid Dreamcatcher and The Tommyknockers.
