Pillars of the Earth

[Gwendolyn]

I am nearing the end of this book and I have fallen into it completely. I know it is a bit old and there is a sequel, but I am loving reading it and am thinking about it when I am not reading it. Anyone else?

Re: Pillars of the Earth

This is a top ten all time favorite book for me. I fell in love with the Epic Novel when I first read this years ago. I literally have read everything else by Kenn Follett and will read anything else that he publishes. If you had to corner me into naming a favorite author, it would be him. Interestingly, his typical work is more WWII spy novel stuff. Who knew that the building of a mideval cathedral could be so interesting?

I read it and was also really surprised by how much I liked it. I'm not sure if I read the sequel -- I'd have to find the title.

I loved this book! I should re-read it... DH read the sequel, and he said that it's several generations later, so you won't see all the characters you love and hate, but I think it's their descendants.
