"Under the Dome" - Stephen King

Got it for my birthday, read the first few chapters last night: seems like an old-school Stephen King book, 1000+ pages about a small town in Maine, with a cast of dozens and all manner of depravity sure to play out.

1. What is "Blink" about?
It's a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye. When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions. Well, "Blink" is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good​

"The Meaning of Night" - Michael Cox

Too early to give a detailed review, but it is styled as a Victorian lost-then-found document, a period piece that purports to actually be of the period, which is just the kind of book I always love. Lots of echoes of Dickens and Wilkie Collins by a guy who edited Oxford anthologies of Victorian mystery and ghost stories.
