[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 596467, member: 435"] Once a voracious reader, I guess I burned myself out, because I haven't read any book to completion in possibly 5 years (shameful, I know). Two of the last really good books I read before I burned out were Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End". Both were extremely fascinating, entertaining, and educational historical novels which I simply could not put down once I started reading them. There is (as of 2017) a 3rd book in what is now called the "Kingsbridge Trilogy", Kingsbridge being the fictional city where the stories take place. The new one is called "A Column of Fire". I need to buy that and hope that reading it will whet my appetite for reading again. I decided to try a classic novel 2 years ago, so I bought an unabridged copy of "Les Miserables". I really got hooked on that too, but with about 100 pages to go, I just couldn't take any more, and I still haven't finished reading it. Pathetic !!! To indicate just how voracious a reader I once was, I have a library of 400 leather bound books (mostly classics) that I purchased in groups of 100 from the Franklin Mint. They sure look good on my custom-made bookcase, but sadly, that's all they are now --- something to look at. [/QUOTE]
