    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)

    This was really, really hard. I voted Shining. My top five King books (in no particular order) are Different Seasons, The Long Walk, The Stand, Drawing of the Three, and Shining. Let me just throw out a bump for Long Walk: It's the tightest work King has written in my opinion. I don't believe for sheer economy vs the shock of the book he's ever done any better; I think it stands with Shirley Jackson's The Lottery for this reason. There are other Kings I love to reread more than The Long Walk, but its allegory spans several literary genres brilliantly - a "major" "feat" in my "book."

    ps I love this site!!!
    pps Sorry I can't let go of a good pun
