    Default The Stand VS The Waste Lands

    Which book would you rather re-read: The Stand or The Waste Lands?

    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.

    Having never read The Stand nor It, I'll be hitting lots of Never Read.

    I think R of G said in another Waste Lands face-off "What's the point of re-reading a book without an ending?".

    That's how I feel. Book-to-Book The Stand is better and I do plan to re-read very soon. This time I'll read the uncut version.

    Ugh. This was hard, but I had to say The Wastelands.

    Its a choice between a book with no ending and a book with no plot.

    I totally agree on the "no plot" and although I must recognise that the Wastelands has no end, it's still one of my favourite DT books so it gets my vote (again)

    Wastelands was one of my favorites in the series.
    But Stand won for me
