[Rose]

Hi fellow history lovers,

I'm new to Good Reads and thought this group looks like my kind of thing. I'm a museum curator here in the north of the UK, specialism archaeology, and I also teach at the local university. Most of the books I read, both fiction and non-fiction, are history/archaeology themed. Favourite eras for both are Ancient Greek, Roman Empire, medieval, early medieval, Georgian and Victorian.

I'm looking forward to getting involved in some group reads with like minded people - the book club I'm in with my friends has degenerated into 'wine club'. Whilst fun not much book discussion takes place!

Regards, Rose

Welcome to the place for history lover, Loren. We are glad you joined us.

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.

[Alyssa]

Howdy! My name is Alyssa and I am a senior at Texas A&M. I've always had a love for reading and in my down time, I read anything I can get my hands on. In regards to history, I love reading books on the monarchies in England. They are always fascinating.

[Patrick]

Hello everyone! Happy to have found this group to offer book suggestions and discuss many historical topics.

My name is Patrick. I have a BA in History + Secondary Ed. (NEIU) and a Masters in History Ed/Secondary Education (USC). History has always fascinated me. It truly is the story of the human experience.

[Alexei]

Hi, I'm Alexei from the Republic of Moldova. I am a lawyer.
Always loved history. Since we started it at school. The was always some magic to me in all the stories from the past, which also help us to understand the world we live in today.
I can't say I have a particular topic or period that I'm interested in. Equally excited when reading about some ancient civilizations or about some events from the recent past (like WWII for example).
I can't say I am concerned too much with every single detail and date but rather interested to understand the underlying reasons and causes which lead to certain events.
Happy to find and become part of this group and to have an opportunity to share my passion for history with others! ))

[Jill H.]

Welcome to the HBC, Alyssa. You will find everything here to pique your continuing interest in all things history. Here is a link to British History to get you started in an area that you enjoy.

Glad you are here. That is a part of the US I usually read. If you want to know of any books in particular, please let me know. Civil War such as: Confederate books, North, or just general books of that era?

So, hi, I'm Jimmy, I'm living in Berlin, Germany, and as you can see from my shelves I'm quite interested in history and I am hoping to get some suggestions on what to read through this group.

Hi all! What a great group of people, to say the least.

Looking forward to many discussions here.

I am re-reading my college history text books so I think that says enough about my interests. Ha!

[Beth]

Hi.My name is Beth and I am interested in history. Espically the darker side of history. Really interested in the Peoples Temple and would really like to learn more about what happened to the members and their leader, Jim Jones.
I will read almost anything. All suggestions welcome.
I posted earlier that I was looking for a book on Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple, I am also looking for another book on Bonnie and Clyde.I have read GO DOWN TOGETHER. I cannot remember the author's name but would like to find something MORE historically accurate that this book. Any and all suggestions welcome.

[Abby]

I am Abby from Nashville, Tennessee. I am a born reader and am currently working my way through the New Lifetime Reading Plan which is history heavy. I do love history but did not appreciate it during Western Civilization in college, funny how that works. I have chosen to start on Herodotus. I must take copious notes to get what I need out of it. I am a fan of ancient, middle ages, regency England and colonial America. I cannot make a book club meeting at the library but feel I will need help in my quest. I am happy to lend help when I can.

[Joe]

Hello, my name is Joe Kash. I am a medical oncologist in Illinois. I don't have much time to read but when I do have time I tend to read history and biographies. I hope to have time to take part in some discussions. I love US History from pre-Revolutionary War through the Civil War.

[Naomi]

Hello my name is Naomi and I am new to goodreads and to this thread! My goal this year is to read a lot more then it did last year. I am currently reading a book by Alison Weir about the life of Elizabeth!

[Barbara]

Hello! My name is Barbara. I currently work as an elementary librarian. I have returned to school and am working toward an Associates of Arts Degree with a concentration in History. I hope to get a Bachelor of Arts in History from T A&M-Texarkana. After that I would like to go into museum studies. I love reading all kinds of history, nonfiction & historical fiction and visiting living history museums. Looking forward to getting to know some of the other group members and taking part in some discussions.

[Rick]

Hello everyone. My name is Rick. I'm a 63 year old man. I have been an avid reader nearly all of my life. Like many of you, my reading tastes run over a wide range of books. As an engineer by trade and training science fiction was probably my first love -- the spark that got me going. In my mid twenties I picked up a little book titled "A Bridge Too Far" by Cornelius Ryan and I was hooked. Historical fiction and non-fiction books are always on my reader now and most likely one of my "currently reading" selections. Anything from prehistory (I'm currently rereading Jean Auel's Earth's Children series) to current events (One of the most powerful stories I've read lately has been Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden). Of Course this then ties into my love of Science Fiction so I can read about future "history" -- ha ha. Of course I will read anything that strikes my fancy, Business, Hard Science, philosophy, political, you name the genre and I probably have something in my reader's queue, ready to go. My wife says I've always got my nose in a book or magazine. Well that's me, I guess. Glad to be a member of your group.

[Jill H.]

Hello! My Name is Melodi, I'm a preschool teacher, currently liing in Indiana. I love history because I love gaining understanding for how and why things are the way they are, how they got that way and how people lived throughout history. I love to read-I've enjoyed alot of reading mostly of Dark Ages through Renaissance era European history and I do local historical reenactments. I would love to branch out and learn more, especially military history and history of other areas of the world, so here I am! Thank you for having me, I look forward to interacting with you all.

[Fatma]

Hi everyone.
My name is Fatma,24 years old.
I live in Tunisia.
I am a 3rd year Civil Engineering student.
I love reading historical and political books and I'm interested in reading about political leaders.
I look forward to participating in this group and have some book recommendations.
Thanks for having me !

[Ned]

My name is Ned Carriger. I currently reside in the thriving metropolis of Chattanooga, TN (Hamilton County), but I would like to find a job that would allow me to cover Friday Night Football in West Texas. Happiness is 37404 Country in my rearview mirror and when I die they can bury me in Lubbock, Texas in my jeans. I like many different types and periods of history, but if I had to pick a few specific areas I would say Southern History, social history, British History, and penal history. The reason why I joined this group was to find some good and interesting books to read, to broaden my horizons, and to try to be a tad bit more interesting at dinner parties. I've been reading a lot of Texas History lately. However, the people I talked to at the various didn't seem to be too impressed with my knowledge of Texas History. All they said was "Well, you know if there wasn't a Tennessee there wouldn't be a Texas."

[Bryan]

Thanks for revising, Ned, it is a great introduction. I know Texans are very serious about their history.

Hi,
My name is Ankit. I am from New Delhi,India.
I am a computer programmer and I love to read.
I am interested in the history and how history was shaped by various factors of geography,politics,sociology,religion,etc. and how they in turn were affected by events that followed.

Looking forward to the group :)

Thank you for welcoming me to the History Book club. My name is Michael. I am interested in ancient history among other things, since I retired from my career as a prison employee 2 weeks ago I am trying to teach myself latin and relearn greek and hebrew which I studied in the 1970s. I am also interested in the English Reformation, the Westward Movement and California in US History and Labor History, I discovered the Gutenberg project recently and I read a lot of older off copyright books downloaded to my e-reader device. Right now I am reading Charles Beard's 1927 book, Contemporary American History.
