Maybe a more prophetic Novel for the times

[Kartographer]

Maybe a more timely novel for all to be readingisn't Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", but instead is Stephen King's "The Stand". Personally dispite King being a Obamabot I have always found this novel most prophetic and a great story of the strength of faith. Besides I think Obama much more resembles 'Randall Flagg'(AKA "the Dark Man," "the Hardcase," "the Tall Man," and "the Walkin’ Dude"), than anyone in Rand's novel, beside like Randell Obama is a all things to all people and a 'magic man' as well, I think they would get along great!

Follows are some of my favorite quotes from the book especially read the last one:

"No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart the blue lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just...come out the other side."

"You just couldn't get a hold of the things you done and turn them right again. Such power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to men and women, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age trying to rewrite their teens."

"A choice? There's always a choice. That's God's way, always will be. Your will is still Free. Do as you will. There's no set of leg-irons on you. But...this is what God wants of you."

"The wind had picked up again, it made strange hooting sound in some empty doorway, and farther away he thought he could hear bootheels pacing off the night, rundown bootheels somewhere in the foothills coming to him on the chilly draft of this early morning breeze. Dirty bootheels clocking their way into the grave of the West."

And what exactly did I say?

Since you haven’t read it one would guess that you either like to be confrontational just for the sake of the confrontation or you wish to present yourself as a supior intelect above such rabble who would read something that you consider trash even if you yourself haven’t read it, what other answers are? What else would you have to gain from making a comment on a subject you are not wholely versed on?

King’s “The Stand” is nothing like his other works or at least the few I tried to read and it is deeply spiritual, live afirming, and also shows you never know when or who God may call upon to serve.
