Yep, still reading Pillars of the Earth. I'm enjoying it, but it is such a large book I find it awkward to read. It really makes me think that I would love a Kindle. Not sure if anyone is reading this, but if you are, and if you have a Kindle, let me know what you think.
Back to the book... there is all sorts of scheming and backstabbing. The author finally started telling the story from the point of view of a female character ... and she was promptly raped. At first I was really upset by this, but he is starting to turn it around. Showing how this tragedy has inspired her to be more self reliant and strong... of course, it is a bit sexist to think a girl needs tragedy to inspire her. Hmmm I'll have to think about this more.
Either way, I like the character and I'm rooting for her. Go Aliena!
