ARCHIVE TWO: PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF ~ Showing 2,701-2,750 of 6,144

[Kristin]

So here's my attempt at an introduction. My name is Kristin and I'm a Presbyterian minister in central Iowa. I was an English and history double mjor in college and I have always loved history. I probably should have been a history professor. My husband says that my most annoying habit is when I correct the inaccuracies in historical documentaries. He wonders why I bother watching them. I'm usually reading or listening to books about some aspect of history so I should be at home here.

[Bryan]

Welcome, Samuel. Glad you found us here.

Take a look at our presidential series:

Hi Kristin. You know you are a true history buff if you correct other people. Great story.

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.

[Raymond]

Hello everyone,
My name is Raymond from Nevada, U.S.A.
A few years ago I discovered that history is way better than fiction...a favorite epoch is the late 19th century/early 20th, especially the British Empire, Boer War (South African history, period), American Civil War and Native America.

[Jill H.]

A warm welcome Raymond. We have topics covering all your favorites, so I will just start you with a couple.

[Shannon]

Hi everyone,

My name is Shannon Selin and I live in Vancouver, Canada. My father was a history teacher so I grew up immersed in history books and have always been a voracious reader. My current focus is the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath, as well as early 19th century American history (particularly the 1820s), but I love a good history book about any period. I look forward to the group's discussions and recommendations.

Best regards,
Shannon

[Martin]

Great sense of perspective & humor (they go hand in hand) Shannon. Look forward to your contributions to the picnic.

[Jacob]

Hello, my name's Jacob and I am from the U.S. I enjoy reading world history and find ancient history the most interesting. However I spend most of my time reading about Asian history (when I do read history, I enjoy many different genres). Does anyone have recommendations for a book about Vietnamese history (excluding the Vietnam-Amercan war)? I believe this covers it all. Anything else just ask.

[Roger]

Hello,

My name is Roger. I am from The Hague, the Netherlands. I am a marketeer at a dutch bank. History has always been a passion of mine. I read mainly about European and U.S. History. I just discovered goodreads and this group. I hope to gather new ideas and insights about books and of course also hope to contribute some myself.

[Raven]

Hi, everyone. My name is Cory and I'm a huge history buff. When I saw this group on the site, I just had to join! I've just finished Antoine Henri Jomini's "Précis de l'art de la guerre." If you into military history and have not had the chance to read it yet, I highly recommend it. I look forward to sharing and discussing history books in the group. Hope everyone has a great night.

[David]

Hello my name is David and I live and in Edinburgh,Scotland where I teach in one of the city's many independent schools. My main interests are in Scottish family history, European history and through reading several fascinating books in the last few years, imperial Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian history.

Hello all - I have spent most of my 52 years in Louisiana, USA but I lived in for nine years in Washington and Idaho when I was in my 20's. I am a public librarian and an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction. In history my main interests are World War II and the Cold War(espionage aspects mainly) but I try to educate myself in other eras esp. with military history. I try to read at least one or two biographies a year and also read memoirs fairly frequently.

[Patrick]

Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself to this group. I'm an long-time history buff, now retired, living in Australia. Over many years -- since my father began taking me to the local library at age 5 -- I've read a great deal of military history, but now prefer studies of cultural movements. Barbara Tuchman's featured 'Guns of August' is an excellent example of what I love to read. I'm now encouraged to re-read it!

[TH]

My name is TH Leighty an APUSH teacher who loves history. I really enjoy WWII and the Civil War.

[Chris]

Hi, I'm Chris. Love any type of historical fiction, time-travel, alternative, and anything else you can think of. My favorite era is Napoleonic and Regency, but I don't limit myself to that.

I was a history major, so I do look for interesting historical reference, not just the fiction, but I do love a good story, too.

I look forward to to reading with you all.

[Mark]

Hi, I'm Mark. I live in Northern Ireland, I'm interested in Irish/Scottish history, military history and the US civil war. Thanks for having me along!

[M. Gary]

Hi Jill & everyone. My name is M. Gary (go by my middle name). I read everything I can get my eyes on. In particular, History is 1 of my favorite topics. I truly enjoy all authors, especially Ambrose, Atkinson, Foote, Shara (father & son), McCullough, Follete, Liss - to just name a few. I just read Monuments Men, for which I was a bit disappointed. That's it for now, I look forward in the exchange of information, opinions & feedback from this group.
