I just finished Under The Dome by Stephen King.

It was okay. I kind of liked the characters, but the Sci-Fi elements were blah. I was expecting other stuff similar to The Mist or From A Buick 8.

I just started The Song of Bernadette by Franz Werfel. It's a little outside my normal range of book choices, but I'll enjoy it immensely if it make it all the way through.

Seriously, I do not read fiction books nor novels. I do not hate it, but I just have never been interested in it.

I always read, physics, biology, social sciences, history, paleontology, current affairs, philosophical commentaries, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology.
