Different Seasons. Definitely.

This is a tough one. Both huge favorites.

[Ben Staad]

Very tough decision. I'm thinking for a re-read I will have to choose Different Seasons...but I love TGM so very much. :pullhair:

Vote Green Mile! :)

[divemaster]

Different Seasons. Definitely.

LOL we actually have the same vote on this one.

I did like The Green Mile, but Different Seasons is in a class by itself.

I haven't read Different Seasons yet but DAMN! If it's SLAYING The Green Mile like it is so far, I'll be buying it this weekend. These polls are actually pretty helpful in that regard.

I've only read The Green Mile once and didn't particularly care for it. However, I've read Different Seasons many, many times. Specifically, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite pieces to revisit before and after the masterful film.

Loved them both but Different Seasons is the winner. Definitely in my top 5.

[mae]

Can't believe this is so lopsided.

[Brice]

[fernandito]

Sorry, novellas / short story collections have never been my forte.

I guess I can make an exception though. :blush:

[Heather19]

I can understand the short stories. I'm more a novel person as well. But these are some of his best stories, even if they're technically novellas. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

My copy of DS is very well worn. 4 captivating tales in one book.

[Patrick]

Damn, this is a difficult choice... One of my earliest SK books takes this one. DIFFERENT SEASONS.

[Brice]

Sorry, novellas / short story collections have never been my forte.

You absolutely should. This is some of his best writing.

[Jean]

hear, hear!
