Books (revision)

I have finished. Rolled through that one in just under 3 days having started it at 11 o’clock on Saturday night (hoping for a quick solution for sleep) and had finished tonight a shade before that same time. The Pillars of the Earth was a little more interesting than I had initially thought upon looking at the cover (insert choice axiom). But it settled down into an easy read and gave me something to do with my weekend and free time that would have no doubt been spent playing solitary card games. It was predictable at times, exciting at others, and at times fun to read – I must admit. The one thing that the book had going for it was that it appealed to one of my greater interests in that of Medieval History. Not that I spent 5 months earning my minor in that same subfield less than a 30 minute plane ride from where the story took place or anything. My subtle distain for English and Welshmen flared a little bit at points, but what more can be said for someone who had Irish professors. I haven’t completely changed my view on books as I would be blind not to realize that I am not in my element in the first place and it would not be unlike me to do things that I don’t normally do when I am not there. But reading this one felt, satisfying.
