Bob, I've probably had my head in the sand for too long now, but I haven't heard of any of these books. I will say, reading a description of Never by Ken Follett has certainly piqued my interest. Otherwise, you've done a good job of inspiring me to dust off some of the books on my shelf I haven't read yet and find out what jewels I may already own. :) I enjoyed checking out the descriptions of several books on your list.
Thanks, Becki! As I said, I'll come back here soon and tell you the ones that were my favorites. The Follett book is riveting (800 pages!) but be forewarned, it's also disturbing! But he's a brilliant writer (e.g. Pillars of the Earth, the Century Trilogy) and this one does not disappoint.
I've read several of these (2, 4, 5, 9, 14) and have others tagged at the library (6, 8, 11). We are reading Tom Lake for book club, so I'll be reading it very soon.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these!
