After that, I think I'll take a break from King and read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road"
The Shining is an outstanding book. Enjoy it. It's nothing much like the movie at all, which is nice. The movie was great, too (my favorite horror flick), but the book is great in it's own way.
Funny, I re-read Insomnia right after reading the Dark Tower series as well. What a coincidence.
The only book I've ever read three times is The Talisman by King and Peter Straub. I absolutely adored that book.
You should probably also pick up The Stand too. Probably his best book.
