Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I know some here have read it. I've tried in the past, but as I'm not a fast reader and I'm easily distracted, I've always failed. So I finally got it as an audio book (unabridged, around 40 hours). Just finished it today and I have to say I loved it. What a great story. So well done. I was afraid toward the end that he was going to end the story in a way I wouldn't like (no spoilers), but he came through and I was happy. If you're a fan of historical fiction, do yourself a favor and read this one (or listen to it).
Now to pick up World Without End.

World Without End is a faint shadow compared to Pillars of the Earth.

We have not inherited the Earth from our parents, we have borrowed it from our children.
