I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

The Dark Tower series. I would also recommend reading Insomnia at some point in the process. The Talisman is another good story with ties to the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower links a lot of King's stories over his career, including The Stand.

The series really is King's magnum opus, the culmination and gathering point of all his stories.
