Don't know if it's cuz I'm a great SK fan, or he hasn't written an 'epic' for some time & I was wanting one from him, or what...but 'Under The Dome' really hit the spot!!!
(By the way...I'm not reading the rest of this thread, as when I read your 'recomendations', I end up with a whole lot of authors/titles on my WAY TOO LONG TBR list!! You guys just have too many great books to recommend & I just can't do this any more!!)
