spritechanFor posterity I just want to post that I finally finished Under the Dome (the novel, not the show).
Here is how it went for me:
1. Unknown number of years ago: began the book, got about halfway
2. Life, got busy, forgot about it
3. 2018: get book, find bookmarked page, can't remember anything happening in it whatsoever. Start over.
4. Read about a third of the way. Put it down because life.
5. 2019: get book, remember where I was, keep reading. Forget that I ever read any of it before. At every major event think, "Wait. It feels like I read this before."
6. 2020: Wait, DID I read this before? DID I FINISH IT????
7. Feb 8-9, 2020: realize I did not, in fact, finish the book before. Relief. Finally get to a part I haven't read before. Quietly read all weekend, finish at 1am.
8. Accomplishment.
I enjoyed it! I thought SK decently handled the difficulties of trying to make a realistic dome that could not be outsmarted. It did not feel altogether different from The Stand, which isn't a bad thing.
