A review by baimeeker
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King
5.0
My favorite quote from this book:
"I don't believe in any actual thinking God that marks the fall of every bird in Australia or every bug in India, a God that records all of our sins in a big golden book and judges us when we die--I don't want to believe in a God who would deliberately create bad people and then deliberately send them to roast in a hell He created--but I believe there has to be something.
Yeah, something. Some kind of insensate force for the good.
I think there's a force that keeps drunken teenagers--most drunken teenagers--from crashing their cars when they're coming home from the senior prom or their first big rock concert. That keeps most planes from crashing even when something goes wrong. Not all, just most. Hey, the fact that no one's used a nuclear weapon on actual living people since 1945 suggests there has to be something on our side."
The Subaudible is a wonderful concept of god. I don't believe in god, but I kind of believe in this.
