I'm really hoping it isn't all Stephen King in the top... it will seem biased because we are a King website, essentially!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
That's how I feel. In retrospect maybe we should have done "Top 100 Novels of All Time, excluding Stephen King."Originally Posted by Odetta
Or keep it one book per author.

Mockingbird had more secondings. I personally hope it wins.

I was going to limit it to 3 per author, but it was hardly possible due to very uneven, sporadic participation in the nomination/secondings. Now the voting seems to go more vigorously, and we can come back to this question after the final round - whether or not we can leave only three King novels and thus get a couple more slots at the bottom of the list. The voting will, anyway, determine what these three top novels are.
