I’m reminded of a good book which I recently finished for anyone who finds this interesting: Ken Follet’s “The Pillars of the Earth”, which centered around the construction of cathedrals in 12th century England. I thought it was slightly marred by the numerous graphic obligatory rape scenes though.

On even numbered days, I'm glad Bowdler is dead. On odd numbered days, I could find lots for him to apply his talents on.

Maybe publishers could start putting out 'full' and PG versions.

It was a very good book, meticulously researched, and full of architectural details about how these soaring monuments to God were built.
