My current favorite book is Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth.

Set in 12th-century England, the narrative concerns the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge. The ambitions of three men merge, conflict and collide through four decades during which social and political upheaval and the internal politics of the church affect the progress of the cathedral and the fortunes of the protagonists. The insightful portrayals of an idealistic master builder, a pious, dogmatic but compassionate prior and an unscrupulous, ruthless bishop are balanced by those of a trio of independent, resourceful women (one of them quite loathesome) who can stand on their own as memorable characters in any genre. Beginning with a mystery that casts its shadow on ensuing events, the narrative is a seesaw of tension in which circumstances change with shocking but true-to-life unpredictability. Follett's impeccable pacing builds suspense in a balanced narrative that offers action, intrigue, violence and passion as well as the step-by-step description of an edifice rising in slow stages, its progress tied to the vicissitudes of fortune and the permutations of evolving architectural style. Follett's depiction of the precarious balance of power between monarchy and religion in the Middle Ages, and of the effects of social upheavals and the forces of nature (storms, famines) on political events; his ability to convey the fine points of architecture so that the cathedral becomes clearly visualized in the reader's mind; and above all, his portrayals of the enduring human emotions of ambition, greed, bravery, dedication, revenge and love, result in a highly engrossing narrative. Manipulating a complex plot in which the characters interact against a broad canvas of medieval life, Follett has written a novel that entertains, instructs and satisfies on a grand scale.

I am reading A Lick of Frost by Laurell K Hamilton. I love this book and I can not wait to read the Newest one, Blood Noir in June. But that is so far away or it seems that way. Blood Noir however is not a Merry Novel it is a Anita Blake vampire hunter Novel. Merry's newest book will not be out until December of this year or next year. I hate wait for so long for a book but they are definitly worth the wait.

I know how you feel. I felt the same way waiting for the Harry Potter novels. (Yes I am a Harry Potter lover, so fuck off! lol) I started reading them when I was 13 and it took till I was 22 to finish the series. Almost a whole freaking decade! lol
