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. Of course The Stand; but how am I supposed to vote against Duma Key?

I don't think I will vote in this round at all. Neither choice seems correct. The Stand is the better book, but DK is my personal favorite (it's like TWL against Wolves), second only to It - and by the way, I already said somewhere long time ago that I feel they are closely related.

I went with The Stand although it was a very challenging decision. The Stand I think is the better book however DK re-ignited my passion for Stephen King and is one of the best books written by SK (IMO). Very...very...very tough decision.
As much as I really really liked Duma Key, The Stand is my all-time favorite book. I read it about every year or so--like visiting old friends.
I still need to read Duma Key. What year was it released? Can someone give me a really brief run-down of the plot? I don't like looking at reviews or plots with Google because more times than not, they contain spoilers which pisses me off.
X-man: The One Man Wolfpack...
I've re-read the original The Stand many times and is my favorite of his novels.

The Stand

Duma Key. If I had to pick a reason, less religious overtones...
People are always talking about truth.Everybody knows what the truth is,like it was toilet paper or somethin...All there is is bull*...One layer of bullshit on top of another...what you do in life...pick the layer of bull* that you prefer...
The Stand if I had to pick a reason...Spoiler:
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I try to vote before reading the thread comments. This came closest to how I felt when I voted for THE STAND.
Last chance to vote! the poll is closing!

Well, five rebels, including me, voted for Duma Key. It's a pride thing
Yes, and now you put it this way it sounds like an ursine thing to do, but I just couldn't. Thinking of Harold and Larry must have been the last straw. Rarely have I seen such a fine study of human characters.Well, five rebels, including me, voted for Duma Key. It's a pride thing
