I finished “The Pillars of Earth” night before last, and the ending was a little more docile than I expected it, but it was still and awesome read.
Right now, I’m reading “He Needed Killing.” If books are too complex, I have a hard time understanding them. (CFIDS does that.) So I try to stick with action and/or thrillers, and hope I don’t miss too much.

Just getting older can make complex books more difficult to follow, too.
At one point in my father’s mental decline, he could read and understand text, but the next day he wouldn’t remember what he had read, so he couldn’t read novels or non-fiction books. I got him some magazine subscriptions then (Cat Fancy, American Cowboy), and he enjoyed Oliver North’s “War Stories” collections, because each section of 6-10 pages was independent.
