What's on your reading list? No textbooks! Only leisure!
I don't know why I never commented on this before, but I've read Sarum, London, Ruska, The Forest, and just finished New York. I went on Rutherfurd's website and saw that he has two I haven't read: The Princes of Ireland and Rebels of Ireland - that will have to change!

Funny story about Sarum: I was reading it on a plane to go visit my then fiance, and the (very handsome, obviously monied) guy offered to take me to his chateau based on my reading the book! Talk about the "I wonder if..." times of one's life!

This is a great thread. I checked and found that Rutherfurd's style is similar to Michener's and since I love Michener, i decided to read Rutherfurd as well. Since I used to live in Ireland, I just ordered The Princes of Ireland and Rebels of Ireland from Amazon. So to be OT, I'm reading these two (shortly.)
