I've  been reading  a lot  lately, work  has been  crazy and  I find
leaving myself an  hour before bed to read does  wonders to relax me
so I  can sleep. Historical  fiction has  always been a  favorite of
mine,  recently   I  finished  up  Ken   Follett's  [0]  Kingsbridge
trilogy. I  read the first novel  in the series (The  Pillars of the
Earth) in 2018, and just finished  the other two. They are not light
books (1000+ pages each) but are so engrossing you hardly notice how
long they are.   I highly recommend them for any  fans of historical
fiction, in particular early European  history. All three books span
a period of 500 years, the 12th - 17th centuries.

I have  some of Follett's  other books on my  shelf to read,  but am
taking a detour  into techno-thrillers by way  of William Hertling's
[1] Singularity series. I've read the first book, Avogrado Corp, and
am in the middle of the  second, AI Apocalypse.  These are quick and
enjoyable  reads  (250-300 pages  each)  that  will appeal  to  most
hardcore geeks.
