Ken Follet

Shortly after Christmas I stayed up rather late for 4 consecutive nights to watch the Pillars of the Earth on TV. I quite enjoyed it and have subsequently considered reading Ken Follett' follow on book "World without end". I haven't made much progress on that as I don't have a copy and I have been finishing Saturday by Ian McEwan in the meantime.



At the supermarket on Saturday there was a book sale and I picked up another Ken Follett called Nulkoden. As you can maybe guess from the title, it is in Danish and I can see that progress will be slow. However, I have made a start and I am now a whopping 4 pages into it. My aim for our skiing holiday is to finish it. (Also to ski and drink irish coffee in that order)

    Will look out for Ken Follett in the charity shops for you. His books often appear, whereas you never see a Martin Amis, he's so unreadable that no-one ever finishes a book so they keep them on their own bookshelves in the hope they may achieve it one day, and visitors might think they are intellectuals.

    The Danish may be easier after the Irish coffee.
    I suppose that progress is amazingly slow if you don't have the book.
    How do you read a book that you don't have?
