   Hi Steven, I love your site! thanks for keeping it so current, it’s a great resource.

   I wanted to suggest Wilbur Smith’s novels for your bookshelf. If you haven’t read anything by Wilbur, I strongly suggest you look in to it. He is a fantastic historical fiction author with a very fluid writing style and engrossing stories, mainly about Africa. I’d recommend either starting with his Egyption series (River God/Seventh Scroll/Warlock) or the Courtney family series. Incredible writing!

   Thanks, Ben. I’m glad you enjoy the site! I did read one of Wilbur Smith’s novels about a year or two ago. Which one was it? Triumph of the Sun I believe it was. I liked it. Haven’t read the ones you mentioned. I assume those are some of his best ones?

   Yes, I think they’re hist best, and they’re the most critically acclaimed.

   I picked up Pillars of the Earth at your recommendation. 900 pages in three days! Great story.
