The two most recent books on our reading list are the first two volumes of Ken Follet's Century Trilogy. There is no third volume yet, so we'll have to wait for that.* The first two books will keep you reading for a a while, though.
The Century Trilogy is, essentially, a history of Europe in the 20th century. So it covers some pretty familiar ground. But Follett is a master storyteller, and his tale of life in those years is compelling. These first new books would make excellent companions for the string of long, dark evenings just ahead. And maybe by spring, Follett will be ready to tell us how the story ends.
*(We are also waiting expectantly for the third volume of Hilary Mantell's trilogy on Thomas Cromwell.)
