Life got really crazy for a bit, but has now returned to normal, i.e. slightly crazy.<br /><br />I haven't read any Rutherford books. I did pick up "London" once - and it almost threw out my back. That sucker is HUGE!<br /><br />I'm always intimidated by big books. I'm a slow reader; the higher the page count, the more time I have to invest in the book.<br /><br />And now for something completely different...<br /><br />I was given a Versatile Blogger award with instructions to pass it on. <br /><br />Since you truly are a versatile blogger, I'm awarding it to you.<br /><br />http://thesharilynreview.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-24764650388875692442010-08-13T22:33:57.344-04:002010-08-13T22:33:57.344-04:00Sharilyn,

I have never read any Margaret George books but have heard great things about that author.<br />Have you read any books by Edward Rutherford? I have "London" and "The Forest" by Rutherford but have yet to crack them open. Again ... the size is daunting and his timeline is HUGE!!Laurie@The Baking Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678146631438774221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648528809470059310.post-52183844598658478852010-08-13T12:18:22.922-04:002010-08-13T12:18:22.922-04:00I read this book too.

While I liked it, I didn't get it as high a rating as you did (for which I was duly hammered on Amazon). <br /><br />In retrospect, I was probably a bit harsher than it deserved. My main complaint was that I wanted more Seline, more of her personality, and more of her story.<br /><br />I've read the Memoirs of Cleopatra as well. It's big, it's dense and it's beautiful. There are parts of it that read like poetry. I think you'd probably like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
