If you love books you just have to read "The Pillars of The Earth." It's amazing. Over 1000 pages and totally worth it. Now I'm reading the sequal "World Without End." Not very far in but I really feel all rushed and worried lately. Readings not a top piroity. It should be.
Ken Follets actually a crime writer. It's amazing how well they turned out considering. Both of the books are about Kingsbridge Cathedral and church building. Very good if you like the almost medivale seeming books. It really is better then any "about the book" sounds. It complelty took me by surprise.
