Glad you found us Eric. I am a big fan of political history myself.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you are ready to cite a book. (There is a link on the top right of the reply box.) It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them. When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link at the very bottom of the post after your text. Because it is on the bottom, it calls the reader's attention to the book/author and increases the readability of your posts.

[Adam]

Hello,

I'm Adam, from New Hampshire in the US. I'm an avid reader of history and historical fiction, particularly with regard the first half of the 20th century. I'm a huge fan of authors Alan Furst and David Downing.

Thanks!

[Robert]

Hello All,

Glad to be a part of this group. I live in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. I've had a 30-year career as a professional paperhanger and in that time have collected hundreds of books and articles on the delightfully large topic of wallpaper. That is my main historical interest, especially the social and economic aspects.

I'm also interested in the beginnings and subsequent history of the Roman Catholic church, but that's just one of many interests; I seem to be incurably curious about past times and the way it really was (as opposed to how things seem on the surface).

Looking forward to getting to know this group!

[Derrick]

Hi. Everyone,
My name is Derrick and I'm from Memphis, Tn. I love reading about and studying history. My interests include: American, Military, African-American and Civil Rights history. I look forward to interacting with other lovers of history.

[Maryanne]

Hello, my name is Anna and I'm from Santa Clara, CA. Just recently joined Goodreads and this site is a haven for a book lover. I'm trying to branch out and read more non fiction books since my taste is heavy in Fiction. Interests include: Genetics, Sci-fi, English History, fantasy, and groaning of the fact that there's so many books and so little time.

[Eric]

Hello, my name is Eric.. I work at the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office and have a strong interst in history. I'm interested in European, Roman, and American history. I just finished a book on Norse mythology and have just started Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard.

[Liz]

Hi, My name is Liz. I love reading and learning about history but have always a hard time filtering through which books to read. This group has a really interesting selection and variety of topics and I am excited to start reading with you guys.

[Carla]

Hello fellow history lovers:) My name is Carla and I'm new to the group. I'm looking forward to participating in this group.

[Nancy]

Hi - my name is Nancy; I live in eastern New Mexico in the USA; I had a history professor in college speak to the whole student body and finding a major - he suggested we explore the idea of what we would prefer to read if stuck in an airport for hours. That would be history for me - so I was a history major. My husband and I have raised 2 kids and now have 4 granddaughters. Besides reading I am a hand quilter - keeping alive a dying tradition. I hope to be inspired and challenged in this group.

Thanks Bryan I appreciate your note. The link to your Catholic thread was interesting because as it began Benedict was just retiring and the thread continued through the speculation about and then the election of Francis.

I woud like to recommend to all by Thomas Cahill

This book really gets into the topics of why the Middle Ages are not quite so dark as we have been led to believe. Cahill tells compelling stories, and most of all, deeply human ones that are easy for the most up-to-date person to relate to. Highly recommended!

[Jill H.]

[Lina]

hello every one, my name is lina. Im 22 years old.I have graduated this year from the English department of Batna University, Algeria.Im preparing to persue my studies in order to get the master degree. Im a very big fan of history.I love history since I was in the middle school, and I did score the best grades in this subject.we should study history in order to understand the present and plan the future.

[Katie]

Hello. My name is Katie Schell. My mother survived the Korean War. She was a peasant who walked 100 miles in snow and ice, from Seoul to Taegon. I am interested in Korean War history after researching the war.

[Dan]

Hello everyone my name is Dan and I currently live in Germany however I'm American military. I have been interested in history for the last 10 years mostly focusing on the last hundred years of war as that is what fascinates me most.

I'm also an avid outdoorsman?I like to run, bike and most winter sports.

[Shel]

I am Shelley. I work as a medical laboratory scientist in a small town in Northeastern Iowa. My friends often poke fun of my love of history saying that it is a dry boring topic. I always explain that history is so fascinating because it is the story of us. Sadly, their experience is that of poor high school instructors who forced them to memorize dates and unconnected names. Instead, I explain that history is the ultimate soap opera; full of passion, lies and double-crossing, love and courage, power struggles, and intrigue. This is my first book club, and I look forward to the challenge and discussion about a topic I find so engaging, pertinent, amazing, and fun.

[Larold]

Hello. I am a history undergrad student in my second year at Presidency University, Kolkata. I've been in love with history for the last eleven years, since I was nine.

My areas of interest are medieval Europe, classical Greece and Rome, the Roman Empire, military history across the ages, cliodynamics, history of technology and inventions, and some intellectual history. I also like to read biology, philosophy (especially philosophy of mind), sociology, political philosophy and science fiction.

Hope this was a coherent enough introduction.

Cheers.
