I finally did it. After months of reading, I finished Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. An epic story told in great detail – perhaps there were too many generations told. I could have gone for the 400 page version. Or waited to see the movie…
Things that happened while I was reading PotE:
- Friends announced they were going to have a baby
- Other friends had one
- The economic crisis hit, the bailout didn’t pass and then it did
- Obama was elected
- We went to New York, California, and Rome
- I built Caroline’s blog for her and she started using it
Now on to Blood River – an amazing recount of a journalist’s attempt in 2004 to cross Africa via the Congo River.
