The Shining's a great horror novel, but The Stand is one of my all-time favourites, so that gets my vote.

[mae]

The Shining is way more than just a horror novel. It's a great novel period.

[Jean]

The Stand!!!!!!!!!!

[harrison ryan]

I love them both, but The Stand is my choice.

[frik]

The Stand!

[skyofcrack]

Sophie's Choice!

I've re-read both of these books a lot over the years but probably The Shining a few more times just because The Stand is so long and I need more time to absorb every juicy word. For that reason alone The Shining gets my vote.

[beam*seeker]

Another vote for the Shining because it has been so long and it is shorter?

[divemaster]

I love them both, but The Stand is my choice.

+1

[mae]

Two '70s classics :) Very disproportionate results so far.

[divemaster]

I predict that The Stand will clean up votes no matter what it is up against. It's the perennial favorite is it not?

[mae]

It is. Some believe, unfairly :)

[Jean]

I don't know how this would be unfair. Personally, I am going to vote It against any other book (bears and heathers are ganging up this year...), but The Stand is, in bears' opinion, superior to any other book except It (the degree of superiority is different in every particular case)

[Brice]

Apparently there are 3 people who have some reading to do.

[Jon]

My life for you!!!

[Patrick]

Yeah, THE STAND.

Yes :couple:

Also I need to finish reading The Stand.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Yeah, It is my # 1. But Stand is #2.

[alkanto]

My vote goes for The Stand, rather easily. been years since I've read it, and I desperately need to get back to it.

[John Blaze]

Yeah, It is my # 1. But Stand is #2.
We're backwards, Paisan. The Stand is my all time #1 faorite book. My SK favorite lists goes:

1. The Stand
2. It
3. Carrie
4. Green Mile
5. 11/22/63 / Rose Madder, too close to call.

[Jean]

Last chance to vote! The poll is closing!

[mae]

The poll has closed. The winner with 73.68% of the vote was The Stand. It receives 0.1 points in addition to its current FAS (Final Average Score), making it 7.732633158.
