I finished a few weeks ago "Sandworms of Dune" by Brian Herbert. The son of the legendary Frank Herbert of the Dune saga.

I highly recommend all the Dune novels Brian wrote after his dad passed away :lol:

Self-help books...yawn. Anyone ever notice that these "gurus" basically just rip off famous philosophers of ages past, repackage them and then make a profit off of other people's misery? Now I know why Deepak Chopra always feels so good, you guys keep making him rich. :lol:

Anyway for me this isn't the first time but it was about time for a reread. Exquisite work:

Something is wrong in Niceville. . .
A boy literally disappears from Main Street. A security camera captures the moment of his instant, inexplicable vanishing.

An audacious bank robbery goes seriously wrong: four cops are gunned down; a TV news helicopter is shot and spins crazily out of the sky, triggering a disastrous cascade of events that ricochet across twenty different lives over the course of just thirty-six hours.

In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict.

Cathedral of the Sea

From amazon: “A masterful epic of love, war, treason, plague, famine, witchcraft, anti-Semitism and the Inquisition.

14th-century Spain, the medieval city of Barcelona is enjoying a golden age of prosperity. Its humblest inhabitants are building, stone by stone, a magnificent church to overlook their harbour. This is the Cathedral of the Sea: a church to be built for the people by the people.

In its shadow, Arnau, a young serf on the run from his feudal lord, struggles to earn his freedom. After famine, plague and thwarted love, Arnau’s fortunes begin to turn when King Pedro makes him a baron as a reward for his courage in battle. But he is also forced to marry Eleonor, a ward of the King whom he does not love. His newfound status excites jealousy from his friends who plot his downfall with devastating consequences. Arnau’s journey from slave to nobleman is the story of a struggle between good and evil that will turn Church against State and brother against brother …”

The novel has won several literary awards including:

Euskadi de Plata 2006 (Spain)

The Qué Leer Award (Spain)

Giovanni Boccaccio 2007 award (Italy)

Not so good as The Physician and Shaman. Rich historical background but the story ain't so engaging. Good writer anyway. Is there any other interesting novel you would recommend written by him? ^_^
