have you read this?

Just curious how many of you have read this book...

The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett

if you have drop me a comment and tell me what you thought. I obviouslly enjoyed it since I actually finished it.. all 971 pages.. probably the biggest book I've ever read, and now Ben won't get so annoyed with me for ignoring the kids till I'm at a good time to stop. Now I'm on to a fast easy read. ... also, if you have a favorite book that you've read in the past little bit, let me know.. I'm always up for suggestions.. but, I'm not into sci-fi.. i fall asleep, even Lord of the Rings.. can't make it through without getting drowsy.

..oh, and my poor baby, suffering from an ear ache.. sheesh, i hate to see them all sick like, and i miss the sleep at night. wish us better.





and who is this, Lance Armstrong holding my son, Noah??? People keep asking Ben if his last name is Armstrong.. out of the blue today, Leah's doctor asked him if he was a cyclist?? what do you think? do they look alike?

I've read The Pillars of the Earth. I loved it as well. You know there is a sequal? It's called World Without End. It has different characters, but it is supposed to be the relatives from the characters in the first book a few hundred years later, I think. I haven't read it yet because I wasn't ready to give up all my time and sleep again. The only time I had to read was at night after the kids have gone to bed. Then I end up reading til 2 or 3am because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Britt has read it though, and I think she liked it as much as the first.

I really enjoyed the book Save Karyn, by Karen Bosnak. It's a true story about a girl who gets 20,000 in debt. By the end, she learns to save instead of spend so much, something you're already good at!

I am loving to read books right now, so I am going to try this book out. Is it available at the library?? You do have a famous look alike hubby, never noticed it before, but he really does look like Lance Armstrong! Lucky you!

Oh that is funny! He totally looks like Lance! I haven't read Pillars of the Earth but Cody has and he really liked it. If your looking for a FABULOUS new book to read you should try "These is my words" by Nancy Turner. It is amazing and one of the best books I have ever read! Also a good one is "Eat Love Pray". Amazing and life changing for me!

Maybe it has something to do with Ben's 1.2% body fat.
