Which book would you rather re-read: The Stand or The Long Walk?

This is the third and final round of our Constant Reader Awards. The top ten books advancing from the first two rounds will be competing in a series of polls against each other, based on re-readability. Every book will face-off with each of the other nine books in the top ten. Polls will last one week.

The winner of each poll will have 0.1 points added to its overall score. At the end of the round the scores will be compiled, giving us our true top ten listing and the winning title for the Best Stephen King Book Ever Published.

Please be sure to vote solely based on which book you would rather re-read in each face/off. If you have not read one or both of the titles, please select he "Never Read" option.

Nice catch lady!

The Stand...always and forever! (Though I like the unabridged version better.)

I must say the Long Walk, Though I feel that this example demonstrates what I feel is flawed about the poll. Do I think that that The Long Walk is better than The Stand? Of course not. But I have reread the Stand several times, and have never reread the Long Walk. So, even though I dont think a reread of the Long Walk will make it better than the Stand IMO, I still would feel more compelled to reread the Long Walk.

For this reason, I have voted against the Stand, my favorite book of all time, several times.

And it pains me to do so.

unfair poll ;-) (I have lost my smilies - who stole my smilies)

anyhoo..... the stand is an epic of a book that spans a HUGe story arc that draws you in and stays in your head for years after. The long walk is a small story that spans a few young men and stays with you for years after. mmmmm not really answering this very well.

the long walk is a heart breaking story and is one of the best i have ever read. but the stand is bigger and i am a fast reader.
