The first wave of polls have closed and I have updated the data here.

Second wave of polls go up today.
Also, a Head to Head Comparison table was added to the first post. I thought it would be fun to see how well or badly the nominees did and against which books.
Pablo: I already said and will gladly repeat - bears are very impressed by the way you handle all this!

The second wave of Round 3 polls just closed, and I have started to update all the data in this thread. The first table has been updated already, and you can see DT2 pulling away with 0.7 points. Different Seasons and The Shining remain winless.
The third and final wave of polls for Round 3 has closed and thus our main event of the first annual Constant Reader Awards is at a close. I'll be updating this thread with all the data collected, but first we need Aaron's final word on one tie that occurred.
The winner of Round 3 is The Stand, which gained every available point in this round. Different Seasons gained no points.
Look at the first post of this thread for all the information (it's incomplete at this point, cry pardon).
Oh... and it looks like The Stand is our inaugural Best Book Award recipient!
Wow! What a race, but that is very well deserved.
Thanks for all your hard work on this Pablo...I'll give Aaron my thanks in person someday soon. :ninja:

Well I would usually base it on performance from the previous rounds, but The Long Walk beat the Green Mile in round 1, and The Green Mile beat The Long Walk in round 2. So it's kind of a wash. I checked the voting and Hannah didnt vote for that one, and I know that she has read both books. I will talk to her tonight and she will be the tie breaker.
Aaron

The Long Walk takes it. I edited the poll to indicate Hannah's vote.
It makes bears very, very happy!
The table data in the first post is fully updated.
pablo, you're my hero
Rarely can bears see such a thorough, conscientous, consequent agent of Purpose! Being on the side of Purpose themselves, bears can't but admire it!

I am pleased that my two favorite books finished 1st and 2nd.
Kudos to the coding to put those tables in there. Lots of work went into that.

Pablo, you have been absolutely fantastic throughout all of this, and you have been a great help to me. As a show of my gratitude for all that you have done, I am awarding you one giveaway entry and 15,000 beambucks. Thank you so much for all that you have done. :thumbsup:
Heck you should both get TWO entries into the giveaway Aaron. Both of you have worked hard to make this a reality and gave us a wonderfully and fairly run voting. Thanks guys. Thanks for all of it.

I have the spread sheet open so I will add his entry Aaron.
Sam-Directors are not eligible for the giveaway. :(

Nope, no fabulous prizes for me. :cry:
I give you one of these then. :rock:
Is that better Aaron?
Thanks for all the thanks, guys. Really, it's all my OCD's fault. This was a longtime longshot idea and I can't believe it worked out so wonderfully. That's credit to Aaron, who took the morsel that I came up with and molded it into a pretty damn cool thing that I think a lot of people enjoyed taking part in. We still have one final event to take care of, our miscellaneous appended nominations, though, but for now The Stand stands alone as the best book Stephen King has ever written (at least according to us).
P.S.: An entry and a wad of cash? I'm going to Disney World! :panic:

Awww! Poor Aaron! :( If it makes you feel any better I can win and enjoy them for you. :dance:
...or at least I could before I taunted you. :unsure:

years ago Stephen Spignesi did a ranking of sorts and took a buch of input from SKEMERs. The results back then were SKEMERS picked The Stand as #1 and IT as #2. Coincidentally Spignesi ranked them himself as well and he reversed it with IT as #1 and The Stand as #2. Of course that was doen probably 8 or 10 years ago and thus a few books did not get included! :-)
I'm happy as The Stand is the reason I read Stephen King and the reason I now collect All Things Kings! :-)
I totally spaced and forgot to add the last 15 poll results to the second post. My apologies. I have now done so, and so all out statistical data for our main tournament is complete.
