When I was growing up, I fantasized about a house like this. New furniture. A backyard. Parents who gave parties and invited lots of friends.

I wanted something like this, too. A brick house in Hampstead and a father who didn't travel around the world killing people.

I really enjoyed Stephen R. Lawhead's series, the Pendragon Cycle and the Celtic Crusades, as well as two of his stand alone novels, Byzantium and Patrick, son of Ireland. The Pendragon Cycle feels a bit more fantasy than historical, but they're great reads.

Just read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet a couple of months ago--totally engrossing.

Have you read his <I>World Without End? If you enjoyed Pillars you should give it a go
