Hello, my name is Robert. I currently study Soviet History, Russian language and Religious Expressionism at college. I came upon this group when I joined Goodreads yesterday and it seems like a fun place to be. I have been interested in history ever since grade school and am always up for something new to learn about history.
Hi all.My name is David, I live in Maryland, near Washington, DC, where I moved a few years ago to be closer to the morons we elect to national office.
Growing up, history in high school was meaningless names and dates and not one of my subjects. HOWEVER, for all that, political science and economics were my first 2 college majors. I ended up with a BA and an MA in English Literature.
I am VERY political (and numbers oriented) and I read history for pleasure and for knowledge, it is backbone of all the things I think about after all.
Recommendations for history books that intersect with my other loves -- politics / current affairs / economics -- will be highly appreciated. My favorite periods are Constitutional America and the classical period in Western Civ.
Hello all. I am Terry Dicken in Kansas City.I am an Instructional Designer and eLearning Developer, but love history. I do a lot with family genealogy and love to learn about the time period and location where my family members lived. Looking forward to participating with you all.
Welcome Sandesh, John, Robert, David, and Terry. Thanks for responding to our invitation to introduce yourselves.Here are a couple of topics in the HBC that you mentioned.

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.

Hello everyone, my name is Eli. To the moderators, I apologize for not posting here immediately after joining the group. It was late upon my joining (and I did not notice that this was required), and I had intended to do so soon. Still, this is no excuse for not observing the rules, and I am sorry. I have no aptitude for brevity, nor do I enjoy talking about myself, but nonetheless I will attempt to briefly introduce myself and accurately sketch my love and fascination of history without droning or taking too long.
I have been deeply fascinated with history from a very young age, and remember being intrigued by pictures and art (often biblical and mythological allusions) as a small child, and other exposures to things of this nature spurned a curious fascination (albeit in the midst of total ignorance) with 'history', despite being unaware of the term. The past and what occurred therein (as well as humanity and civilization in general) became the target of much fascination, at about seven years old I began playing historical city-building games, and also to browse in history books and to draw pictures of cities and other things of a historical nature. This further cultivated the interest, and soon I was playing more historical games, reading more, and becoming more immersed in history as a subject. Increasingly, I began to read more and more, until recently, the consideration to pursue history as a career grew in me, and while I am still undecided (with the financial implications of this decision being shaky) I am emphatic on continuing a personal study of it for the rest of my life.
Whether I do decide to make a career of it or merely pursue it as an amateur, I have been looking for a good and lively community to follow and aid my study. So, I am thankful for this group, and excited to be a part!
Hi all,My name is Rob and I'm from Western Australia. I have always been interested in history and politics. I studied history at university and enjoyed it very much.
I work in the IT industry and, thus, read a lot of technical documentation, but have recently begun to read history books again.
I am interested in political history.

Enjoy.
I am delighted to be a part of the History Book Club thread. I am Ron Johnson. People in my hometown Lufkin, Texas, still refer to me by my childhood nickname. (May reveal it after we’ve known each other awhile.) I am an early American historian at Texas State University because I have questions about life that only history can answer. My preferred period is from about 1763 to 1843.
by Joseph J. Ellis remains the best history book I have ever read.
Hello everyone, my name is Brooke. I'm a graduate student in Archaeology at the University of Oxford. I'm interested in Aztec and Etruscan archaeology with a focus on proto-historic urbanism and landscape use. I'm hoping to broaden my historical knowledge as I've gotten a bit bogged down in academic works lately. I'm looking forward to some interesting recommendations and discussions.
Hi, my name is Chris and I'm from Lynnwood WA. I enjoy reading books on american history, WWII, Irish history, and current events, along with thrillers and historical fiction
Hi, My name is Mark Bosworth and I live in South Florida. I love to read history primarily to learn about fascinating things that have happened in the past. There are so many interesting things that have taken place that it almost makes fiction unnecessary. My primary purpose for joining the History Club is to discover great new books and get reviews from people I trust.
Hi Walter! welcome and thank you for your service :)

I'm new to Goodreads and I enjoy a variety of genres. History, including Military History, European/Russian History, and Political History are of particular interest to me. I'm also working on improving my knowledge of German, Spanish and Russian languages. I would welcome recommendations for books in those languages as well. I'm happy to be here!

"This Town" by Mark Leibovich. The title continues with, "Two Parties and a Funeral-plus plenty of valet parking!-in America's Gilded Capital! Leibovich is the Chief National Correspondent at NY Magazine.Itwas a good book, but very depressing even though it's well known that money rules in Washington, DC! I was sad that this book looks further into lobbyists, which most are started when Senators or House members, people in the White House leave and start, "consulting jobs!" Lobbyist groups! We have a long way to go to get money out of Politics, if it can even happen. Worth reading but you won't be smiling at the end.
hello, I am really interested in eleventh century history. I started with my home country of Great Britain and Normandy and now find my interest spreading with the Normans!Best Wishes

I'm Sandy Bickel, a recently retired property tax attorney from Indianapolis. I just relocated to Ithaca, NY, and am looking forward to studying the period of time in which I lived as history. I'm most interested in political and economic history. Our current political environment reminds me of the late 60s and early 70s, but in reverse. I'm currently reading Theodore White's "Making of the President " series.

Bryan, I think I understand now. Two questions: is it possible to do the "add book/author" feature on the iPad? I prefer using it, when possible, and I didn't see any way to add a book in the correct format. Also, what's with the ellipses I see on various posts? They seem to be clickable links to books. Thanks. Here's another of my recent reads, so you can see if I have it right.

Hello all just saying hello! Was told to introduce myself. I'm actually a senior at university, studying history and secondary education. My specialty is German history and holocaust studies, and press during WWII which is what I wrote my my thesis on. Looking forward to getting to know some people in the group. I aam new to good reads. I also enjoy civil war history ( I work for the Harriet Beecher Stowe museum) and revolutionary war history
Hi,My name is Andrew Latham and I am a professor of political science at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
I am primarily interested in military history -- especially regarding the crusades and WWI.
I am also interested in quality fiction dealing with either the Crusades or the Great War.
