The Pillars of the Earth is kind of a mash-up between a point-and-click and a visual novel. And while I haven’t finished the book yet (it’s seriously an enormous book, and it’s the first in a series), I do think the experience helped enrich my experience with the game itself.

So I was a little worried that Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth would be ponderous, both in book and video game form. Norrell by Susanna Clark the former was enjoyable, the latter a disappointing slog. In fact, I can think of only two that I’ve actually read: Crossing the Horizon by Laurie Notaro and Jonathan Strange & Mr. I’ll admit that historical fiction isn’t usually something I hunt down of my own accord.
