I’m in shock that they’re tied at 8 votes each.

Haha! That’s the one I thought would be in a crushing lead.

It is kinda surprising that IT isn't further ahead with the votes.

I thought the same thing. I’m especially interested in this because (I know this will come as a shock) I haven’t read IT yet. Think I was telling you in the intro thread how I haven’t been reading King for very long and I’m working my way through his works chronologically. I just assumed IT was going to be my favorite (next to Drawing of the Three of course!) because of all the attention it gets.

And just like that, IT is winning 15 to 8. :lol:

Don't feel bad, I only finally got around to reading IT a few years back. Being a huge King fan and having not read it yet made me feel like a boy scout missing some crucial badge or something. haha
I'll be interested to hear your opinion of it when you read it. :)

IT is way better than The Shining. No contest.
