I am the OP
My vote would be unfair. In my contests you can consider me but the keeper of the count! After this we do a tournament contest far harder then SK books, if ya'll want?
*waving hand across the screen* The Stand is not the book you seek.
In a fast-vote, first 5 wins contest, your vote would be unfair (because you are the only one who would know exactly when the next voting battle starts).
But now there has been enough time for many of us to vote, so your vote would not be unfair anymore.
I'd say you are free to vote for The Stand. Iy would be fair enough.
Jedi tricks don't work on me.
Damn Whoresly,you one sexy woman . TTACH=full]17377[/ATTACH]Uhm, hello. My name is Whoresly Quizzlesnots and I'm new on this board. I've been having trouble posting. But Dana Jean was kind enough to help me cast my vote for:
THE SHINING!
...I hear and I obey my Moderating Goddess....
Stand at six and Shining at four.
I'm not really sure which to pick here.
The Shining is such a personal, character driven, human study and its somewhat more realistic in terms of just seeing family dynamic fall apart with a much more satisfying and superior ending compared to The Stand's finale. (Don't try to deny it, you know its true .)
But The Stand is very character driven as well but in the form of a sweeping fantastical epic that can rival LOTR and DT but in one book. It also is a great look on good vs evil in a religious sense. Plus it has the benefits of way better baddies. Yes the Overlook is spooky the way it constantly hangs over the family through out the book, the ghosts are freaky and its tragic how it rips Torrance family apart. But come on Randall Flagg, Trashy, Lloyd, The Kid might not be as creepily chilling but they are cooler villians then anything The Shining throws.
Of course The Shining isn't really about the antagonists as characters in the way a book like The Stand is, so it is semi unfair comparison but just some observations from my POV.
So it really comes down to if you prefer local in scope type stories or grand epics.
