40 books in 2010! 20 books in 2011! How many in 2012?
Finishing the last page of a nice book is so much rewarding, so I thought to read more since January 2010 instead of wasting my time in front of the PC or TV. I read whatever I think might be interesting. Fiction or Nonfiction. Each book opens a new horizon. With the books you can travel around the world. ..... I just want to do something useful for myself.
I read English and German language. The ranking is from 1 (=very bad) through 10 (=excellent).

43rd book - "The Pillars of the Earth" - Ken Follett - 10 points

Let's go back in the 12th century. 1000 pages!
The idea to tell the story around the construction of a cathedral is perfect. It appeared to me that the stories about certain people repeated themselves, like the characters of William Hamleigh or Bishop Waleran.
Anyway, a great book and I read it within 12 days. Will read more Ken Follett.
I read the 2007 paperback version ISBN 978-0-451-22524-5. First published in 1989.
