    Okay, need a new book and I'm trying to decide between The Goldfinch, Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. The last two are based off a recommendation from a friend. Any thoughts?

    It depends what you are in the mood for :-) Pillars of the Earth comes before World Without End and I've really enjoyed it, I do enjoy well written historical novels. I've not read The Goldfinch, but it looks quite interesting? Hmmmm

    I just started a biography of Josephine Bonaparte. It's really good, but you have to like history, geography, political science to get through this. It's not a fictionalized account, it's a real biography. I haven't read a book like this in awhile. I mostly read historical fiction.
