    Default The Stand VS The Green Mile

    Which book would you rather re-read: The Stand or The Green Mile?

    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.

    I love the Stand, it is my favorite novel of all time. But, I have to go with the Green Mile on this one, because I liked the Green Mile alot, and I have never reread it. Where I have reread The Stand multiple times.

    The Stand.

    Green Mile is an excellent story, but The Stand has more substance and epicness...I think I just invented a word

    It's just THE Stephen King book to me.

    Don't get me wrong, I love The Dark Tower like a brother but standing alone, The Stand is it. Yes, pun intended no matter how bad it may be.

    I have read both books and reread them both, but I have to go with The Stand as well. The Stand is my all time favorite.

    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft

    I...It's The Stand Man!!

    I mean, it's like you have tickets to a Testament concert in one hand and tickets to Duran Duran (the band so nice, they named it twice) in the other hand...is there any question???
