Which order should you listen in?
Chronological and publication order disagree here. The Evening and the Morning is a prequel written last, set centuries before the rest. Most readers still start with The Pillars of the Earth — it is the famous one and the prequel lands better afterwards. These are enormous: Pillars alone runs 40 hrs 56 mins.
