Just going to lurk here and see what everyone suggests. I've only read 'The Shining' and 'Carrie' so far, and I'm a bit intimidated by the size of some of the others.

Consider the season you're in. I first read 'The Shining' during a snowstorm, and it was unforgettable. Read 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon' while on a hiking trip. Read 'Duma Key' near a beach. King's settings are so visceral that reading them in a complementary environment amplifies everything. It's not about order, but about creating the right atmosphere for each book. Plan your reading calendar around the weather and your travel plans for maximum immersion.

I always tell people to read 'Different Seasons' early. It breaks the 'horror guy' stereotype immediately with two of the most beloved adaptations ever: 'Stand By Me' and 'The Shawshank Redemption'. It proves his range and makes his horror work even more impressive because you know he can write brilliantly outside of it. It builds trust. So, maybe 'Carrie' to see where he started, then 'Different Seasons' to see his versatility, then dive into the horror epics. It's a persuasive one-two punch.

I'm just here for the comments because I've already read everything he's written, in publication order, over the last thirty years. It's fun to see how new readers want to tackle it now. Makes me want to start all over again, but in a random order this time.

Chronological by narrative timeline, not publication! It's a deep-cut fan project. You'd start with 'The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger' and its flashbacks, then maybe jump to 'The Eyes of the Dragon', then 'Salem's Lot' (which is loosely in the 70s), 'It' (spanning 1958-1985), etc. It's incredibly messy and not recommended for a first-timer, but for a re-read, it's a fascinating experiment to piece together the history of his multiverse. You see how events in one book ripple through time to affect another. It's a project for the truly dedicated.
