Still Under the Dome, only ~30% in. It creates such an interesting and chaotic little diorama of a town, I love how events overlap in time as you hop around heads
I’m smiling.
My memory of my gargantuan journey through that gargantuan tome is bitter sweet. King creates so many characters we adore — and more that we despise.
I believe I saw it as a working through of the Bush Jr administration and I went so far into this thst I began a chart of the which real life people the characters represented. Like many of my ADHD projects, that one didn’t bear fruit but your bring up this title makes me smile.
The baddies are awful, just the way I like them! I don’t know how many loans from the library it’ll take (I only get it for 2 weeks at a time) but the audiobook narrator is doing a great job, Big Jim’s shifts from internal thoughts to external dialogue is perfect
I can’t remember all the character names but I remember a lot of surprises. Keep having fun with it!
