Recently finished this book. Almost done it's sequel, now. Pillars is a masterpiece. I'll be thinking about this book for years and look forward to a re-read one day. I love how Tom Builder visualizes the church he wants to build by breaking it down into simple geometric shapes. Not one boring page in this book, rare for a novel of this size. It's in my top 2, not sure if its better than Lonesome Dove. I cant make up my mind, its a tie!

Interesting. For me, I don't quite seek to skip certain scenes without at least attempting to read through them. Everyone is free to choose how they read through books though, of course.

I just bought the book yesterday & looking forward to getting started. Thanks for making the video, which paints the landscape of what it's about.

Pillars of the Earth can refer to both literal pillars, and to the people, who through hard work, dedication and faith build a society, and overcame obstacles to live their values. The novel takes place in the 12th century, but in a lot of ways a world where common people must work tirelessly against a wholly selfish elite for justice sounds very present. “There was a long moment of silence. Philip was holding his breath. When Remigius looked up again, his face was wet with tears. "Yes , please, Father," he said. "I want to come home." Philip felt a glow of joy. "Come on, then," he said. "Get on my horse." Remigius looked flabbergasted. Jonathan said: "Father! What are you doing?" Philip said to Remigius: "Go on, do as I say." Jonathan was horrified, "but Father, how will you travel?" "I'll walk," Philip said happily. "One of us must." "Let Remigius walk!" Jonathan said in a tone of outrage. "Let him ride," Philip said, "He's pleased God today." "What about you? Haven't you pleased God more than Remigius?" "Jesus said there's more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people," Philip countered. "Don't you remember the parable of the prodigal son? When he came home, his father killed the fatted calf. The angels are rejoicing over Remigius's tears. The least I can do is give him my horse.” ... They turned toward Kingsbridge. It was twenty miles away. Philip began to walk. He felt wonderful. The return of Remigius more than compensated for the quarry. I lost in court, he thought, but that was only about stones. What I gained was something infinitely more valuable. Today I won a man's soul. My heart grew three sizes when I read that passage.

Reading this again made me flail in happiness. In the sequel, World at End, Father Godwin was doubting Philip as the book told a tale of a man who is both compassionate and harsh, saying that since the two are contradictory, it is impossible to be both. He had no idea. Philip is one of my favorite characters of all time, and this passage further cements that.

It's almost impossible to review this book with so many different characters and events. I've watched a few reviews over the years for this book, and I think to myself, man, I would never want to read this book, but it really IS A GOOD book!!! It's one of my favorite books.

That's exactly how I felt about putting this review together, like I might be putting people off. It's hard to get across.
