I'd disagree with these selections, of the ones I've read. I don't think they're as good as comparable selections on the list in terms of theme, mood, or plot. No disrespect to the authors. I think Goldstein has better work than Red Magician, for example. Rats & Gargoyles was incomprehensible to me. Vurt was merely clever. Late era Powers is too long and ponderous. The Stand is great soap opera entertainment, but not a great novel. I know that you are aware of this, but just for the record, note that the second published version of John Fowles's THE MAGUS was NOT merely the earlier, uncut version (as is true of, say, Stephen King's THE STAND or Heinlein's STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND.) Fowles did an amazing and almost unprecedented thing; he took a book he'd published years before -- to some acclaim and strong sales -- and REWROTE elements of it. He improved it. (Especially, he said, the erotic elements that he felt he'd been too timid with the first time.)

SIMPLY EPIC! One of the greatest stories ever told, and still stands up(especially considering the Swine Flu epidemic of today)... Can't go wrong with this book....

Kings giant book. This has remained one of my favourite books of all time. Has biblical proportions and themes but the story itself is not renderation of bible stories. Very good indeed. If you read this make sure it is the uncut version. The publisher made him cut around 400 pages off from the first print but King financed later the full version himself. (If I recall it correctly.)
