Right now I’m reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It’s GREAT!!! It’s tough for me to find reading time these days so I keep sneaking away long enough to read a few pages before somebody tracks me down for another game of Uno. Even if you don’t support the instant starmaker called Oprah’s Book Club, this book is worth reading. Don’t let the subject (cathedral building) scare you off – this book is not just for architects and clergymen. I’ve already ordered World Without End from Amazon since I have a feeling I’ll be sad to see Pillars end.
