More than a decade ago, I read Ken Follett’s book, " The Pillars of the Earth". The story line follows the building of a cathedral. It has stuck with me all these years and caused me to look with amazement at the near miracle that are these still standing monuments to human strength and endurance. A week ago, I came across the sequel. It is hard to put down. There are over 1000 pages competing with my knitting time. Good thing that C has the TV on for a time each evening to distract me away from my reading. I’m a sucker for Follett’s books. I think I’ve read all of them. This one’s a winner.

I think I’ve read all of his, too, and loved “Pillars”. Will have to look for this one!
I loved Pillars of the Earth when I read it years ago and have read many of Follett’s books since. I read it again this past spring and loved reading it all over again. Thanks for letting me know it is a great read. I’ve moved it to the top of my list of books to buy.

Thanks for the recommendation!
You know, I was wondering about these books. I need to read the first one first, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks for the review!
Another Me Too on Pillars of the Earth! I couldn’t put it down. Off to order this one now . . . thanks for the heads up!
There’s been quite a discussion among the Audiobooks Knitters at Ravelry about this book. I have it on my wish list for next year. I loved Pillars.
I’ve not read any of his books. I’ve heard that Pillars of the earth is a great book. I’ll have to check it out.
I didn’t know about the sequel. Must read. Thanks.
I adored Pillars of the Earth and just finished World Without End. Fabulous story even if it did take me away from my knitting.
