I didn't have the patience to read through the entire thread, but has anyone every read "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet? It has to be my favorite book. It's a long book, but a very fast read. I was stressed out from start to finish. There is also a sequal to the book that recently came out called "World Without End". It's good too, but the it really seems like the same story with new characters. They're both books about The Church, but it's written by an atheist. I'm not atheist, but I really actually enjoyed the take on how much politics were involved in how The Church worked.
