The Kingsbridge series just grabbed me. I absolutely loved the level of detail (I'm a Living Historian) of everyday life.

Mr. Glor, thank you for doing stories on books and authors. I don't know how many times I ordered a book after your piece aired.

The Evening and the Morning by the author he’s talking about here Ken Follet is a great read. It’s a bit of a tome but it’s not a slog to get through. Also acts as a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth, his breakthrough novel in this series, and tbh I’ve found the prequel an easier read. Highly recommend.

By far my favorite author of historical fiction.Loved the Kingsbridge series.

[@NolocoLawrence]

This is awesome. I've only recently read all the kingsbridge series books and I wasn't expecting there to be anymore but it's great to see that there will be one last book

[@deboracontos834]

Thank you Jeff for these interviews. I too so enjoy Ken Follett's books. I'm actually in an 8 week queue at my local library for the audio version of Pillars of the Earth published in 1989...still an 8 week wait! I don't mind at all. ; )

[@Kallynthehuntress]

Looking forward to the final chapter.

[@marcbaigrie2295]

These are the best god damn books going. I love this man.

[@wildmouse5888]

Follett's early thrillers were entertaining, but the Kingsbridge series is on an entirely different level. I love all sorts of books but the level of reader immersion he achieves with these is remarkable. Towards these end of 'Pillars' I suspected I was beginning to smell like sheep.😄

❤ one of my favorite writers....Hornets Flight and Pillars 🤌

[@angelagivhan5768]

Thank you so much Mr. Glor. That was one of the best Sat. Morning episodes I've ever seen and will be cherished.

[@123zindzhi]

His Pillars of the Earth series is amazing!!!

[@callowayml0227]

[@lasandralucas7314]

Thank you for posting this. Read the author in high school and been a fan ever since. ❤

[@rohitsakhrani4116]

Master writer , got all his book ❤

[@Climbing_Rivers]

I can’t wait! Today is the day! Already purchased it on Audible

[@manK2022]

Pity that Mr Follett has not wrote the book, or series on steam engine. It is fascinated topic. He is unique, able to comprehand old technology, history. And incorporate into interesting human stories. He reminds litte bit Irving Stone.

[@JacksonKelleher-mr4se]

Mispronounced his name the whole segment 🤦‍♂️

[@skb254]

Well, if you like him so much stop being a liberal! (PS~ I’ve read every single Ken Follett book. More please!!!)😍🥰😛

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

I doubt this is his final book but I'll certainly check out his work.
