Hey, I've been pretty busy lately, but I'd still like to participate in this little venture.
I know I may be late for a nomination, and people may have already read this book, but let me just throw out Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth.
<span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'>From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly
With this book, Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner, escaping the narrow genre of suspense thrillers to take credit for a historical novel of gripping readability, authentic atmosphere and detail and memorable characterization.</span>
It's a good read, but long.
Anywho, I'll be interested to see what the final choice for the first book is.
Arpi, nice to see that you still have that je ne se pas.
