OMG, The Pillars of Earth is like the most accomplished novel I've ever read. It has all, terrific characters, twisty plot, terrific world-building! *_* The first time I read it, it was a book borrowed from my boyfriend, with the beautiful cathedral on the cover, yes. Then years later I found a paperback copy in an news-stand and brought it home with me for a few euros. <3 It's not quite as beautiful as the other edition (the cover just has a rose window or something) but I felt that, ever if these days I only read stuff that goes on my e-reader, that book deserved a place on my personal library. <3 Also, oh, I never thought about reading that book in English. Awesome idea. But again, probably it's because I've read it back before the advent of my e-book reader LOL - whose presence means that nowadays I don't need to wait for translations (well, at least when it's English eheh) <3
As for Eddie and Hayley, they were terrific in the miniseries, yes! *_* But I do have a special weakness for Hayley. (And I find it kind of unfair how Eddie went on to become a Hollywood leading man and get an Oscar while she's stuck doing tv stuff like this, I've always thought she was the more talented of the two...)

Will do, thanks for the tip!
