I've just read them back-to-back and can't wait to forget them in a few years so that I can experience the reading over again. The best of 14th Century historical fiction, broad-canvas, racing, fully satisfying reads. Best. Neil
I will second Pillars of the Earth. I just finished it a few days ago. Very much worth the read.

I will probably read World Without End sooner rather than later.
