Pillars of the Earth

[Scurvy]

anybody who's having a slow summer or looking for a new book to pick up, i just finished Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and found it to be very interesting.

its fiction, but goes through the generations exploring the story behind the building of a cathedral in medieval times. Its fairly historically accurate, and from what i understand is an atypical novel for this author.

I had it recommended to me by my dad who had just finished it, but once i was reading it i was approached by all sorts of middle aged women who had started it but 'hadn't gotten around to finishing it.' Apparently it was part of the oprah book club or whatever, but either way its worth a read.

Whoa, I actually read that book back in the day when I was really into architecture.

This one is pretty sweet too, not as many words though.

I giggled when I read that book (when I was 14 years old) because it has some sexy time in it.

I can recommend this!

I'll check out Pillar of Earth once I finish a Confederacy of Dunces (slow read...but good).
