Carrying on with recommendations, I've been reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Mostly brilliant except a couple of sex scenes where the author demonstrates he knows nothing about women.
Funny that, I was the other way round. I like Follett's spy novels, but I could not get into Pillars to save my life. I am about 1/3 of the way through The Mirror and the Light now to finish off the Wolf Hall set. It may be that I am pre-disposed to the time period as I love many, many things Elizabethan. This is the forerunner and I have read a great deal during the Tudor era as well.
