The Pillars of the Earth

by Ken Follett

is the novel I am currently reading. A copy was given to me by my mother-in-law. Before I decided to read it I started looking it up and noticed that many other people have thought it was one of the best books of this century! Well, obviously that got me intrigued. I'm not quite to the halfway point yet, but it is so intriguing to read about how people lived during the 1100's time period, and yet have it be written in a modern day English way to make it more accessible. So far, I'm hooked and I can't wait to get back to it to find out more!! If you haven't picked up a copy, do yourself a favor and buy, beg, borrow (but don't steal) a copy and get reading today! And if you have already read this wonderful novel, let me know what you think!
