I have just finished reading ",World Without End", by Ken Follett. It was a mammoth of a book, but it was spectacular. It is set in the 1300's in a fictional English cathedral town and centres on the lives of four people who are connected by a murder that they witnessed as children. It was a breathtaking book, I think it covered every emotion possible and left me wanting more after I finished it.

It is probably too long, but it was worth the long hours. It is a great book and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I'm glad you posted this... I read 'Pillars of the Earth' years ago and loved it and it seems this is linked to that book. I'll have to read it

Yeah it is a sequel set in the same place, just two centuries apart. If you loved 'Pillars of the Earth' you'll love this one. I couldn't put it down.

Pillars of the Earth is in my absolute Top 10 books of all time and would be very close to the top of the Top 10. What a read! Loved it. And I simply can't wait to read WWE and would take it away with me overseas next week but it is just so HUGE!!!! Hoping to pick up a paperback version of it somewhere to make it easier to lug around airports. Now that's what I want to be reading on a plane. Glad you loved it Clove. Makes me want to read it all the more.

Clove

#1 fantasy of all time is easy - Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. #1 book of all time? Hmmm, I think it might be something like "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

Hmm.. I couldn't answer that one. I've had different favs over the years. The book that has probably influenced my life the most, although no longer among my favorite books, is the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean Auel. I became interested in the uses of herbs and primative skills because of it and because of those interests I met my dh. Unfortunately she takes forever to publish the next book in her series so I've kind of grown out of them. It's been 20 years since I read her first book!
