I completely forgot LJ land and the internet world (OK, except FB) for the last three days. It went so quickly, I didn't even realise. I was catching up on all of you and wondered how there was a big explosion of posts, only to realise that it HAS been three days! In the meantime, another book read!
Fall of Giants by Ken Follett - I read the Pillars of the Earth some time ago ( a few years, I believe) and absolutely loved it! And so, decided to read this too! And sure enough, loved it. It took me a month to read it! But the depth, the details, the history embedded in it was fabulous! And so many times it reminded me of my high school history teacher as that's how he taught us the time period history! A story woven through lives of many around the continents. I really had to go back to check when the book was written because I did wonder if my teacher took the idea of him! ha! But a definitely must read book!
He's an author introduced me to by my MIL. And he is the one who made me further fall in love with historic fiction! Now am on to something I randomly picked up at the library. I decided to pick up an actual book as for the last few ones they have been eBooks. Before the library decides to reconsider their funding of print-books vs. digital versions, better diversify! Surely though, D is helping out supporting print books! We have clearly surpassed a thousand books before kindergarten program the library has. Just never filled in the sheets though. oh well!
