Have you read
'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett? If you haven't, you should.

I have, and I loved it. The sequel slightly less so,
because it was almost unbearably grim in parts, but that is precisely my kind of reading.

I keep banging on about them, but will someone please read CJ Sansom's 'Shardlake' books and agree with me that they are brilliant?

Ah - there's a new one of those out, isn't there?
The series starts with 'Dissolution', I believe. I was flicking through it in waterstones the other day, if you think it's good then I think I shall read it.

I'm happy to post them to you.
If I ever want to re-read them I'll ask for them back.

That's very kind!
If the library doesn't have them then I shall gaz you :)

Please do.

I quite liked 'em,
but not to the same extent as you it seems. But as I've mentioned before, I can see their appeal what with the whole misanthropic East London cripple thing...

Haha so you did.
I love that you regard me to be a cripple. You of all people.

You complete cripple.

That is
a mighty fine read! The follow up is rather good too. anyway - thought this was about kids books? If we digress I should like to nominate "Weaveworld" by Clive Barker.I am on my third copy in 20 years...
