I also really liked 11/22/1963. I'm not into horror, but this book, the first of his books I read, well, I wanted to see how he handled the time travel, and I wanted a story where President Kennedy was saved. I got adventure, romance, and especially nostalgia, and a really good time. He did use horror in spots, but it was not the main dish, by any stretch.
I also read maybe 2/3 of one of his horror books before I quit.
I agree with you about Stephen King's book.
