The Pillars of the Earth

I really enjoyed this book. It took me forever to read, but mainly because I have had so much going on. If I could have, I would have spent a weekend reading it until I was done. It's a spellbinding epic set in twelfth-century England, The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect-a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother. Oh there are many, many characters that you can't help to love or hate. They weave in and out. I'll never forget the moment that my favorite character was killed of. I was so angry but It's OK, because the death only made the story more interesting. I have my copy, so if you want to read it...let me know, I'll ship it out to you.

Marley & Me

Alright fine! So I am the last person on the planet to read this book. I loved it. I cried like a child. I stayed up late turning pages in a fog and reading the same line three or four times to comprehend what I was reading while half asleep.

If you are an dog lover, this is a must read. If you are an animal lover, this is a must read. If you are a humanitarian, this is a must read. Did I mention I cried?

They are making Marley's story into a movie. I'll be the first in line to see it. And I'll probably cry.
