ARCHIVE TWO: PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF ~
Hello Hattie. Glad you could join us, and I hope you can join in on a book discussion. Feel free to browse our topics, too.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.
This is how a book should look:

Hi! My name is Maria. I grew up watching History Channel with my father and helping my mom with genealogy research so my passion for history began many years ago and now I am working towards my M.A. in History. Currently I am working on a research project on American culture and society during the Philippine American War (how culture affected the attitude towards war and imperialism). However, I also do quite a bit of reading outside my graduate work. I especially enjoy reading about WWI, WWII, Modern Russian History, Modern Chinese History and Middle Eastern History. I'm so glad to see such a variety of history lovers on this page! Hope to find some good recommendations for future reading!
Welcome Maria...your parents got you started on the right track through the love of history. There is just about every phase/epic/era here in the HBC to please the history buff. Since you are interested in WWII, let me start you with a link to that subject. here in the club.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

I am Naoman Saeed from Pakistan. I have great interest in history. but the problem is that. I don't know any great authors of history especially about the history of non Muslim world. when ever i want to read about history i go to wikipedia. although i know that many people don't consider it an authentic source. well my purpose of coming here is to discover some good historians and then read there books. Thank you!
welcome to all our newbys! I have been a member of the group for a bit so will introduce myself if my name pops up. My name is Evelyn and I live in New Brunswick Canada. I have an MA in history with a post graduate diploma in material history. My area of expertise is maritime history, Canadian history and the history of things. i have worked int eh museum field for over 30 years and am particularly interested in artifactual history as this is the only true history that speaks for groups that can't speak for themselves, those who are poor, can't read or write, and women. I minored in English literature and am excited to get more involved in this group in between full time work and raising kids.

Hi. Sorry for the delay.
This is the Augustus book I read:
Anthony EverittWe're so accustomed to thinking of so many of the Roman emperors as the epitome of evil that it was refreshing to see how much he did for the long term good of Rome. Of course choosing Tiberius as his successor wasn't the best thing he could have done, but even emperors aren't perfect. And it was a different perspective on his death than I was familiar with - that he wasn't murdered so much as assisted in suicide, sort of.
My love of history began in college with a basic Western Civilizations class that was an undergraduate requirement. The professor really challenged some of my preconceived ideas about the world. Most of my history reading centers on WWII and The American Civil War, although I have dabbled elswhere. Frankly, I probably only read 3 or 4 history books a year as I spend most of my time reading all types of fiction.I saw that the club was reading
by
Rick Atkinson which is one of my favorite books and thought I would join in the fun.

Hello! My name is Letitia and I have been a history buff since high school when the Reagan sisters (my history teachers) had me convinced they had lived every moment in history. They didn't ever have to refer to the book, as history was in their very being. I am 59 and a retired educator of 35 yrs. I am married to a non-history buff who gladly takes pictures of everything I point to when we're exploring. We live in central Arkansas. For several years I've been wrapped up in Pre-Revolutionary War through the Civil War. Just finished reading
