Gran, I've been meaning to ask you about this for a couple of weeks. Did you know that Ken Follett has finally written a follow-up to Pillars of the Earth? Its called, World Without End. It picks up two centuries later in the same village.

Link to Amazon and reviews

Yes Darlin...

They just re-released Pillars to go with his new book. I am tempted to buy them both. I have Pillars on CD but I never got into it. Actually I wasn’t fond of the guy that was reading it, so I might enjoy reading the book again, and then read the new one.

Best book ever, and the new one is no doubt just as good. I’ll check reviews on Amazon and see what’s up with it. ;)

Not as bad as Costco.

I agree. Pillars was one of those books I didn't want to end.

I just read the reviews, and it looks good to me. I love long books. I am reading “Greg Iles’s” books now and they are huge and gooooood!

So far I’ve read True Evil, The Turning Angel, and now I’m on Blood Memory. The last two run over 700 pages. My kind of book...;) I’ll be looking for more of his soon. His books are good mysteries.

Have you ever read Vince Flynn’s books? They’re great, and right up our Conservative Alley’s. ;) His books are political thrillers with real hot button issues. You’ll looooove Mitch Rapp!

When you come to think about it - Roman had great buildings hundreds of years before that. and St Angelo´s Fort was built in the 9th century.

I have been shopping and more tomorrow -- They are slowly getting the house put together - they have satellite and ADSL now and will have a wireless router tomorrow.


Four cats and three fishermen

I only spilled a little of it so I did not suffer too much. :)

I have posted pics of the former Naval Hospital taken from our place which has shown the right hand side of the Villa Bichi, renamed the Villa Bighi when the Navy took it over. Here is the frontal view of the villa.

Villa Bighi had a checkered pre-British history with strong naval traditions. It was originally built on the design of Lorenzo Gafa in 1675 as the country villa of Bali Fra Giovanni Bichi, an italian knight of the Order of St. John who was the nephew of Pope Alexander VII. Fra Bichi was employed in the naval service of the Order, eventually gaining command of the Papal Fleet. He died of the plague epidemic in 1676 and was buried in San Salvatore Church close to the villa. After his death, the villa passed into the possession of his nephew Knight Fra Mario Bichi who died in 1712.

Two out of three LJ -- it is strange to see a tideless sea.

Do you know why scientific laboratories are using lawyers more than white rats in their test procedures now?
