Ken Follet has come a freaking long way from Lie Down With Lions.
This same guy wrote Pillars of the Earth!!
PS- Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for many things, and the ability to always keep trying!

Oh, here's a good mix. I'm slowly adding to the library right now. I love Amazon. I don't even mind they are a giant, evil, corporation that will probably end up taking over the world a la "Wall-E" style with its blatant megacorporation-y tactics and unabashed capitalism. I love free shipping and no tax. I love reading! And I still love sports and science nonfiction. My writing itch is coming back, though--time to grab some fiction reads again.
