As I previously mentioned, one of my New Years Resolutions was to read one book a month. Well the year started off great with the quick reads Confessions of a Shopaholic and Love the One You're With. Then I decided to choose a lengthy and more challenging book. Ken Follet's The Pillars of The Earth was just that. At almost 1,000 pages it took me about a full month to read it. I know that seems impossible to do around a work and social schedule, but the great thing about this book is that it is broken up into 6 sections, and each section is broken up into chapters...which is then further broken into 3 parts. Therefore I could chip away at this mountanious novel without getting too lost. If you are up for a challenge, this book has it all. Mystery, lust, death, deception all centered around the building of a massive cathederal. I would recommend following along with the reading and discussion guide on Oprah.com for a more complete view of the book.
