Just started Ken Follett’s Fall of Giants. It arrived right before I went to Italy but didn’t want to add the weight of 985 pages to my baggage! I’m trying to “get into” the much raved about Freedom by Jonathan Franzen (it’s on my Palm reader) but having trouble. Right now I am finding it difficult to care about any of the characters…all seem quite unlikeable to me. Some of my all-time favorites, Anya, A Novel by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, and of course, In the Company of the Courtesan by Anita Diamant. And as I write this, at least a dozen more come to mind! Books…Love ’em!
Have you read Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett? And Pompeii by Robert Harris? What would we do without our reading!
