Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

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

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

The Stand!

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.
Another vote for the Shining because it has been so long and it is shorter?
People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...

Two '70s classicsVery disproportionate results so far.
I predict that The Stand will clean up votes no matter what it is up against. It's the perennial favorite is it not?
It is. Some believe, unfairly
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)

"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Last chance to vote! The poll is closing!
