I finished Circle of Days by Follet. It was a good read and I enjoyed it a lot. It was less a story of building Stonehenge and more a story of how conflict and cooperation between the groups consisting of miners, herders, and farmers led to building the stonehenge. It was a bit light on the actual building of it and more on the events that led to its building. But all in all a very solid read.
I'm now reading The Book of I by Greig. It's an interesting read on the story of a Viking raid that slaughtered a Scottish island and how three survivors, one priest from the monastery, the smith's wife, and a Viking presumed dead, got along afterward. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's a short read, maybe a long novella/short novel. I'll be through today.
