Hello everyone! My name is Luke, I am 13 years old, and skipped 7th grade. I live in a small town about 30 miles west of Augusta, GA, and 137 miles east of Atlanta. I play football, and aspire to attend either the University of Georgia or Harvard. The reason I joined the group is because I enjoy learning about wars around the world and find history in itself to be amazing. I hope to find some goodreads from this group.

My name is Mike, a pathologist by trade, 60 y/o from the pacific northwest of the usa. I enjoy reading history, especially ancient & particularly Roman history. Back in college (way back) I fell in love with philosophy and this has never quite left me so I digress to it frequently. Some fiction, but this I do not emphasize. Over the summer I read Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy and thoroughly enjoyed it.A History of Western Philosophy Looking forward to the discussions.

Greetings.

I am Joesyl Marquis and I see reading as a deep devotion. I believe the world is constantly intertwined with histories & stories- that is the primary reason why people like me tend to read & enjoy immensely. There is always room for imagination and knowledge as long as you are ready to embrace what these written text can offer.

I enjoy wintry evenings with a cup of coffee & a cuddly dog, too.
I am fifteen (15) years old.
I adore music and arts.
History has been a great joy to read and relive.

I hope to get in touch with such interesting individuals of this group. Hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerest regards,
Joesyl

Hello.

[Felix]

Hello everybody,

My name is Felix. I am currently a political science and law student. I owned a small business together with some friends before and have a degree in international business and management with a specialization in marketing.

My real love is history though. I always excelled at it in high school and it has been my pet peeve ever since. I still want to go through a university level education on history eventually (need to finish up my law degree first and get a decent job again).

I especially have a fascination with everything relating to both the Vikings and the Mongols (any advice about good books on those subjects would be much appreciated. But ''unfortunately'' by interest tend to be quit broad. For example i recently have been reading about the British empire ( really a big fan of Niall Ferguson.And i really would love to dip into Ancient Chinese history a well.

Most of the ''historical''reading i am currently doing is related to politics though (finally starting with Fukuyama ''Origins'').

I am a bit all over the place but if you can overlook that i would love to get some imput or have some discussions. Cannot wait to learn from you guys.

Ooh and before i forget,i am from Amsterdam,the Netherlands. I also spend a far amount of time in South east Asia when i was younger because of family.

WWI is a very fascinating period of time and the history department of William & Mary has maintained several professors with a strong interest in this area.

One notable alumnus, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates '65, L.H.D. '98, and the 24th Chancellor of the College of William & Mary once reflected: “The First World War is not well understood or remembered in the United States.... Hollywood has not turned its gaze in this direction for decades. Yet few events have so markedly shaped the world we live in.”

[Abhishek]

I was hoping to be introduced and guided to fiction and non-fiction that would give me a good picture of the last 200 years of social movements across the world (19th and 20th centuries). The idea is to read summaries at first to get a bird's eye view of this period and then maybe explore in detail periods/movements of interest. I am currently reading about the Russian Revolution (Lenin and the Russian Revolution by Christopher Hill, followed by Mother by Maxim Gorky and simultaneously Ten Days that Shook the World by John Reed). Any suggestions? Is this a good start?

Wow I have been missing out! I am Fiona from NSW Australia and have a reading diet of virtually all non fiction but have no friends to discuss them with. I enjoy biographies of world leaders, do gooders, those who overcome adversity, adventurers and historical figures. I particularly enjoy historical disasters and although I am a pacifist I find military history fascinating (weird eh?). My local book shop lady loves my request list. I found you by way of accident through the invitation to read the current Liberation series.

I just finished reading...

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson and

JFK The Smoking Gun by Colin McLaren


And am now reading..

The Great Mortality by John Kelly

Hi, my name is Karen. I'm 44 years old and married with an 11 year old son. I live in Sydney, Australia. I've always loved history but decided to keep it as a passion and so studied law and work in public service. I read a lot of historical biographies and prefer lesser known people. I love seeing what their lives were like. I was a member of the Richard III Society and have read a lot about the Wars of the Roses. I love ancient history too and have read Plato, Cicero, Aeschylus and a lot of fiction about ancient times. One of my favourites is 'Creation' by Gore Vidal.

Glad to have found you guys!

I have adored history for as long as I can remember, and even wound up adding it as a second major in college. Most of my time these days is spent either doing my day job as a litigator or doing my all-the-time job as a mother to a 1.5-year-old, but I do still try to hit the books whenever possible.

Virtually anything about the past interests me, but I have studied U.S. history the most and have been drawn in particular to colonial history and the Cold War period. Bookends, indeed. I also adore trail journals.

A couple of recommendations along those lines:

Hello.

My Name is Jonathan. I live in St. Paul Minnesota and have a BA in History and a BS in Accounting. My combination of history and accounting seems to raise lots of questions during job interviews but I enjoy them both very much. While I am no longer able to read as much as I did during college, I seem to keep on accumulating lots of books to read in my free time - whenever that will come.

I enjoy military history with an emphasis on world war two. I look forward to being a member of this group and discussing my love of history.

Thanks!

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.
