It's good to have you join us here at the place for the history lover, David and Royal. Join right in and if you have questions, ask any moderator. We are here to help.

[Bryan]

Great to have you Royal, Jim, and David. Please look around and enjoy.

[Steen]

Hello
I'm new to the History Book Club. My main interest in literature is history, both fiction and non-fiction. I'm an historian myself and teach history classes, both here where I live near Copenhagen and also, a few years back, in London, my second city so to speak.
So I guess history for me is both a profession and a hobby. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks again,
Steen

[José Luís]

Welcome Jim to a site for those who love history. There are many folks here who have majored in history and love the subject matter so you should be right at home. Please, check our main page to find books on your favorite areas:

Hi, I'm Charlene. I have a background in archaeology...so ancient history is of particular interest to me. I'd love to get a few recommendations for books on American history (I'm already familiar with the prehistory of the U.S. and indigenous peoples). I guess I'm looking for the broad brush history of countries since I'm terribly ignorant.

Hi all. I'm Larry and I've studied Early Modern History (Europe, Americas and some Asia) and I work in international affairs.

I'm reading a lot of Medieval history lately but need to look to some other areas so I don't become a crank and end up discussubg chain mail late into the night on the internet.

Hey everyone my name is Caleb, I would like to start off by saying that books are everything to me. I'll make this short and sweet by saying I just started college, and I'm majoring in History to become a professor at a four year university. My other hobbies I should say are fitness, traveling, and wine tastings. In my spare time I like to play chess and socialize with friends and family. That's pretty much sums up my life.
