The Pillars of the Earth - Oprah loves the book

[@MetaMortis21]

This book is amazing. I am not one of those that follows Oprah’s book club I ran into this book by accident a few years ago. Ken Follet writes beautifully. I also love World Without End, Fall of Giants and Winter of the world.

[@mrfiux]

Ken Follett put my joy back into reading.

[@kosmos007]

Took me years to finally read this book after seeing this episode it’s now one of my favourite books which I am re reading again ❤️

[@dezireezy]

This is the longest book I've ever read (bar the Bible) and I'm on page 654 and BLAZING through it!! I literally can't put it down!! :)

[@Matt-cz6ti]

You've actually read the Bible? Cover to cover?

[@bellamovie2]

I'm reading the book for the first time and I'm close to 400 pages It's written amazingly that I can't put the book down 😃📖

[@jake105]

I loved it.I read it first in 1991 while living in London. What a treat. I've read twice more since then.

[@MDkid1]

I just started reading this book and I'm about 100 pages in, and yes, its an excellent read. A nice comfortable pace, like running water. I'm not a big reader but I'm finding myself turning off the tv, and picking up the book each night, then I get sucked into it and can't put it down.

[@nmsoberguy]

I have read it at least 10 times. My favorite book.

[@tiffanymarieelizabeth]

I read the book in 2008 after seeing it on Oprah. I love history and it was good! I was in college at the time and I even brought it in once for a presentation about historical literature that I was doing for class. I held it up and said this book is about 1000 pages and I’m about halfway done and I explained what it was about and people were shocked because it was so long. Then a few years later I read world without end, the sequel and that was equally good. I knew there was supposed to be a third book so I looked up when it was coming out and it wasn’t until 2017. I was patient and waited all those years and then it finally came out in September and I started reading it the first day. I’m still reading it now because it’s long but it’s still very good and it’s called a column of fire. Thanks Oprah!

[@saysHotdogs]

and now there’s another one, The Evening and the Morning which I also found really good! It tells the tale of before Kingsbridge was called that and has Vikings and such

[@oscarfun100]

I have the same edition, the book is heavy. And the girls at the end of the clip, carrying like 2 dozen of those, in a bag, smiling... :D

[@Vikn01]

This book is great. Got something for everyone. If you like action, history, romance, politics, great heroes and villains and more. I remembered watching Oprah as a little kid when my Grandma had it on and I remember seeing this one.

[@bellamovie2]

William is the worst book villain right next to Archdeacon Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

[@Vikn01]

@@bellamovie2 exactly. Ken Follet really knows how to write a despicable character. Idk if you read the series (world without end, column of fire, the evening and the morning) but the analog for William in Column of Fire (Pierre) is wildly great as a horrible dude. He could be even more hateable than William...a monumental achievement tbh. If you haven't I'd highly recommend doing so if you enjoyed this book. Personally I think CoF is the best in the series. It's all about Elizabethian England. He actually makes Queen Elizabeth an absolutely fascinating character as well.

[@askadeq90]

my reaction is exactly like oprah. i cannot put it down, and when it almost finish, i stop for a while because i dont want to see it finish!

[@C4RL1NN]

Have you read the second one? World without end is the title.

[@jamesclipper6737]

[@kosmos007]

I remember seeing this episode and before the book I watched the miniseries and played the game and then finally read what is now one of my favourite books ever so good 😊😍

[@classiql]

It's the "I didn't want it to end", for me

[@bellamovie2]

I'm like somewhere 52% in the book and I don't want it to end It's incredible so far😍

[@Ironworthstriking]

Halfway through this book and it’s stunning that Oprah and her fans read this book. A dark and seriously violent book filled with death, dismemberment, violent rape, abuse and misery. A truly amazing book though!

[@tracydutton7577]

My fav all time book he put the spark back in me 2 read again.

[@kenken6550]

Your books have enriched my life. Thank you!

[@petarskopje]

yess, this is one of the best books ever written! Best regards from Macedonia!

[@C4RL1NN]

How are you all in Macedonia doing with this coronavirus?

[@Cheediddyhogan]

I just like Oprah, was awake till stupid o'clock reading this book.

[@sofiakth]

i've read half of it and i've watched the series!one of my favs.

[@hollymarg]

....read this twenty two years ago.

[@NS-qs3pe]

After all the excitement that she kept saying she "Read a book" .. and went onto describe her interpretatation.. and could'nt eveven remember the title or Author. I have read whole series I doubt if she ever read it or followed up with other books in that series.

[@markphc99]

i'm playing the poe video game - it's excellent. now i'm getting the book

[@Will_14_years_ago]

So far on oage 130ish i absolutely cant put it down.i work 5 days a week and have family to tend.

[@ihavenoname6724]

"You just forget that there was the Middle Ages." 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bellamovie2]

We all never forget about the Middle Ages after studying the histories and read books all about the Middle Ages

[@bellamovie2]

I'm reading The Pillars of the Earth I just got into 500 pages and I'm sucked into the story!

[@Maryjane022]

It's really an amazing book!😍📚🙌

[@nadaalabbasi2987]

Ohhh i think the writer pays her alot

[@BrujoHN]

Yup. Great book.

[@animebaka14]

at least they got it for free

[@MDkid1]

The book gives me an arm cramp. I have the same Oprah's book club edi as seen in this video, and I remember thinking when those women walked out with those bags that their arms might fall off LOL.....must be some heavy bags!

[@JapaneseChirashi]

Is this supposed to be a book review? She goes on about the page number, and someone getting their head chopped off, and that's it.

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes it is rubbish as a review, tell us how much it weighs why don't you. No idea of how to review a book or present a book show but publishers love this kind of push.

[@MrWorldwithoutend]

YEA!

[@OffordDarcy]

She never read it

[@nile1948]

How much did you have to pav for this Ken? I have read all your books. This, however, smells!

[@libraryofthelabyrinth]

???

[@aliward1646]

Books great but do not care about anything oprah thinks

[@classiql]

Lezz go Oprah talk about them backwards medieval peoples before the Moors came to save em

[@SkillBuilder]

The Moors who sent raiding parties into Scandinavia to bring back blonder hair children to be sex slaves in their palaces. Yes such a civilising influence.

[@melissagarcia3998]

Don't think she read it.

[@magnusqwerty]

She can't read. She is a liberal=LIAR
