Has anyone else read Stephen King's new book "Under the Dome?"


Posted: Jan 19, 2010

I got this book for Christmas and haven't been able to put it down since!  It's 1,088 pages long, but what a page-turner!  Not horror - it's more a comment on society.  I'm down to the last 200 pages and it's almost impossible to force myself to put it down and a. work, b. cook, c. sleep, d. keep house, etc, etc, etc.  I highly recommend it!

;

Yes, it was a good tale - long live da King!

Many of his books are comments on society if you look beneath the surface. The Stand, for instance. I have a feeling Dome will get made into a movie eventually.

Galvanizing conservatives Dinesh D’Souza and John Sullivan’s documentary 2016: Obama's America grossed a stellar $6.3 million as it expanded nationwide over the weekend, beating a trio of three new films.

For those who persist in blaming others here on MTStars who are struggling with our new working-poor reality, saying that the problem is their "attitude," another Ehrenreich book, Bright-Sided, also w ...

The book is a work of fiction but based on facts.  I was blown away by what I read and learned from reading this book.  It does not really surprise me that the drug company has put profits in front of human safety, but to put a drug on the market that is so toxic, it has a warning label that says to wear protective clothing when handling this drug and may be harmful if swallowed!  Yes this the warning on AZT and they were passing it out to people who were not even sick!  Ther ...

I'd like to hear some ideas without mudslinging and name calling. If you don't like what someone would do, please share why you don't like it and what you would do without calling someone a name. Maybe some subjects like healthcare, employment, fixing the debt, immigration. I bet there are some really good id ...

I thought of this when I was reading a post from someone thinking of going out on her own and getting her own accounts.  About 20 years ago, I had the great pleasure of attending a seminar where a great man, Mr. Jim Rohn, who recently passed away, was speaking.  He was speaking to a group of business people who were starting their own business in the health and wellness industry. Anyway, one piece of advice that he gave was this: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man (or ...

The king wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days. So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area". The king was poli ...

CEO Pay Drops But Cash Is KingAug 17, 2010
This is a very long article. I only posted a little of it. You'll have to follow the link for the rest. Here's a bit of good news for the Washington finger-waggers who think executive compensation has gotten out of hand: A survey of 81 big companies shows that CEO pay dropped by 8.6 percent last year. Now for the worrisome twist: The cash portion of their compensation rose 8.3 percent. That's a sign that companies are de-emphasizing long-term incentives for their top guys, a par ...

It was ratified in 1951. However, the article s ...
