I just gleefully started the new Stephen King novel, Under the Dome. I've seen reader's reviews that say it's vintage King, and it sure is so far. The first chapter introduces us to a woman learning to fly and her teacher. We see how happy she is, and how the teacher enjoys her enthusiasm and reflects that her husband will end up having to buy her a Cessna. Then you get, "They had 40 seconds of life left" (or something like that). Wheeeeee!
