Dude, I can't say how much I hate you right now for making me choose.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

I truly can't choose this one right now, and may actually abstain from voting altogether simply because the one is as good as the other for me.

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)

I refuse to vote in this one. Fortunately, my vote will not impact the result.

So, given the option of reading either book, you wouldn't choose one?Originally Posted by Sam
That can just be an issue of what you want to read at the time as opposed to it indicating an overall preference.
The Stand. Tough, tough choice though.

Yet The Green Mile has done poorly this final roundTHIS.
Well, because, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, we all picked The Stand.

I think this exposes what I see as a flaw in this system. I voted for The Green Mile, although I believe the Stand to be the better novel. However, I have read the Stand some 4 or 5 times and the Green Mile only once. Hence, I would rather reread the Green Mile, but this would not be an adequate reflection of my ranking of these novels.
