I just finished Revival yesterday and have been thinking non-stop about the book since I put it down.
I've been a huge Stephen King fan since my parents mistakenly let me read The Stand when I was 12. I made more of an effort to read some of his relatively more recent work a few years ago--Under the Dome, Dr Sleep, From a Buick 8, Revival. These books made me appreciate that he is not just a great writer, but a deep writer. His work really means a lot to me (in addition to creeping me out).
Each time I've finished a book, I've gone on to my wife about the themes, the underlying meanings (I have a grand theory on religion I haven't quite put together yet). She listens and enjoys his books as well, but I thought I would try and give her a break.
Since I'm unlikely to meet Stephen King anytime soon and tell him how great his work is, I figured the next best thing was to try and join a community dedicated to his work. The conversations on this site seem high-quality and friendly, and I'd love to take part.
