    I'm going with The Green Mile here. I loved the story. 11/22/63 on the other hand was 'okay' but seemed to drag on and on a little too much.

    I didn't like either of them, but voted for 11/22/63, where I liked the first quarter, the very ending, the plot and one minor character

    '63 was a trite story of time travel, fraught with King's political views. I did find it well written and it's nostalgia could not be ignored.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    I really enjoyed reading THE GREEN MILE as each volume was released, and I hated waiting in between for the next little book to come out.

    I loved both choices in this poll, but I had to go with nostalgia for my experience reading THE GREEN MILE.
