I hate to seem to vote again bears, but The Shining... sorry, It unimpressed me.

when did you last read it? you should try again

and again

and again

until the moment of epiphany when, at last, it will impress you

(before that moment comes, I recomment that you refrain from voting)

Jean, It will still win certainly, so my pitiful vote does nothing anyway :)

Jean, It will still win certainly, so my pitiful vote does nothing anyway :)I am not really sure. It is a very weird feeling, not to be outnumbered - last time was when we voted James Stewart as the best actor of all times - then again, if you voted for The Shining over It, there must be some concealed treasure I failed to discover in that book (much as I liked it; not exceedingly so, though).

I'd say about 25% of It is better than anything in The Shining. However, overall I enjoyed The Shining more. So it gets my vote.

Please vote for the book you would rather re-read

Remember this part folks. It's not just your favorite book of the two.

I love It but I don't pull it off the shelf every year like I do The Shining. The Shining gets my vote.

Both amazing, but It was a richer experience for me.

I never even noticed that part. I guess for me it's the same thing either way. I'm more inclined to read my favorite one of the two first.

Same here. Although say I just finished rereading It, I'm still going to vote for it over another as I feel it's the superior book.

Over any other?

I think this, too, is subject to further change. I don't think "would rather reread" is tantamount to "consider a better book".

This was tough, but ultimately I chose IT.
