Well, 2008 has started off as a reading year for me.  One of my gift cards was to Joseph Beth's Bookstore here in Lexington, so I bought two books I have been interested in reading - Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Ken Follet.  I have never read anything by him before, but was very intrigued by reviews. 

I have already completed Pillars of the Earth - a 989 page book!  I guess I liked it to have read it in a week.  I was afraid it was going to be one of those books where you have trouble keeping up with a whole host of characters, but it turned out to be very readable and interesting.  It is not heavy reading, not a historical fiction quite like the Michner books I like so much.  I re-read Chesapeake by James Michener last year.

So I have completed the first and am now into the sequel - World Without End.

Did I ever tell you that I would rather read than eat?
