World Without End (Feb-Mar 2015)

[Lahni]

How are you liking Fall of Giants? I've heard mixed things and don't want to read such a big book if I'm going to be disappointed. Do you think it's up to snuff with pillars and world's?

[Bea]

I like it, but it is a bit of a harder read for me. There are so many different stories that Mr. Follett is weaving together that initially I had trouble with remembering them all. The story involves events in Russia, Germany, Britain, and the United States. Each storyline is interesting with well-drawn characters, but, by the time I start getting into one story, he is off to another.

I am so close to finishing it (and it is on one of my old LOST lists) that I will keep reading.

Yep...that's the current one. Am about 40% through it.

[Tien]

Ah must've confused the 2.

You can do it, Bea!

Yep, am all positive and on a high after finishing this book lol

[Susan]

Yay, Tien!

[Tien]

Ladies... I wonder if you've heard that the third book in the series is due to be released in 3 weeks' time?

A Column of Fire (Kingsbridge #3)

You're welcome ;p

[Bea]

I'm still plowing through the first book, which I hope to have done by the end of August. My problem? Not enough reading time for it.

Aw, I got all excited. Didn't read which thread this was, and I thought somehow, you meant the third of the Kingkiller chrdonicles. This is good news, too, though. Thanks. I got on the library hold list as only the 10th person there. By the time it's actually released, there'll be hundreds.

[Lisette]

I haven't read the first book yet. Is it good?

Oh, I did the same, obviously, Susan. Sorry. I read book two (World Without End) for some reason but have never read the first book (The Pillars of the Earth). Guess I will still pass on this one.

[Tien]

aah, sorry to get you all excited hahaha.... not on the same level of excitement though is it lol

@Lusie: we enjoyed the first book too though it is a bit of a monster... almost a thousand pager if I remember correctly.

[Lisette]

Thanks Tien. I was supposed to read book 1 as a group read, but haven't started yet. thanks for letting me know that it is good!
