I read "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet.

Phew. It was almost 1000 pages long with small fonts and took me 25 days to finish it.
It's a story of 12th century England and more like a soap-opera than a historical novel.
Although I'm not quite in favor of the some of the plots, I enjoyed reading it.

Good God, now I can do other things. ;-)

I like reading books but reading English paperbacks are really time-consuming.
