I absolutely recommend Pillars of the World and its continuation: World without end. Just wonderful,more than wonderful. I read a lot, usually I have 2 or 3 books at the time and read them in different time of the day, according to mood like you..Not every day lately, but my son gave me for Christmas a digital reader, wow..so small ,easy to handle ,so many books to be downloaded for free..I already have about 2.000 books between Cairo and Milan, I donate so many,and keeping the dearest one for me, but no more space..lol..and found this new device fantastic...Reading is what gave me much of the fantasy I express in my drawings..
