Hi Erina,

I'm Kate, an American living and working in Korea. I've been very involved in the Korean culture for about 10 years now although I'm not ethnically Korean.

If you find any good books about Korean history, especially anything 조선 or pre, it would be awesome if you could let me know about them, it's hard finding various books in English on the subject and my Korean really isn't up to novel-reading standards yet, ha ha.

As a recomendation for you, have you read Pearl S. Buck's 1963 novel Living Reed: A Novel of Korea? It's historical fiction but gives a good visual on upper-class life in Korea between 1881 Joseon though the Japanese occupation/WW2.

Hi my name is John. I am a 54 year old Irishman living in Thailand. I have been fascinated by history and reading history for my entire life. My particular interest has always been the Second World War and the American Civil War but I will read any well written narrative history.I am looking forward to participating in what appears to be a very interesting group and I am eagerly awaiting the next reading assignment.

[Jill H.]

Welcome, John....we are glad you joined us. Let me get you started with a link to WWII, one of your interests.

Greetings. My name is Tom. I am an avid reader and love the idea of a group dedicated to history. My love of reading is only surpassed by my desire to learn about our collective past. I will get on a cycle of reading about a region in a specific era, then move on in chronological order. I try not to limit myself to a specific subject, but military history (from all eras) dominates my library. My favorite subject thus far is European history during the napoleonic wars. Lately, I've been reading about World War II from the Russian perspective. I find it fascinating to take a subject I think I have a handle on, and have it turned upside down by a change in perspective! I haven't spent much time learning about the history of the Asian continent. So I will most likely be looking to the Far East for my next area of study. Any recommendations? Japan? The khans? The Huns? India? China?
Best Regards,
T.

Hello everybody, I am Celeste Robin and I am from Argentina. I'm 23 and I'm studying to be a Sworn Translator. I'm really interested in Ancient Warfare and Military History, as well as in the history of man through the ages. :)

Hi,
This is Keerthy, from India. I worked as Mainframes developer for 3 yrs but not working at the moment. I am pursuing my Masters in Sociology through distance learning - so, plenty of time to explore various topics. A global history course on coursera attracted me towards exploring the topic in detail. I am looking for books that speak about the effects of past on the present, rise of China, and the cold war era.

[Timothy]

Hello, My name is Tim. I am a history buff. I like biographies of historic figures like Stalin or Khrushchev. Or works like T.J. Stiles' book on Jesse James and material like The Worst Hard Times.

I also read Ecclesiastical History concerning specific figures like Peter Waldo, Ludwig Von Zinzendorf, J.A. Comenius or Donatus. I am fascinated by the marginalized and non-populist ideas and people in that realm of history.

I eclectic in my reading and theories concerning history. The winners in history should not be the only things we pay attention to.

Hello Timothy. You hit a couple of my favorite history books that were relatively recently published - Jesse James and The Worst Hard Times. The first was refreshing as a myth buster, and in a way, so was the second. We've heard so much about the Okies and others who fled the Dust Bowl for California, but we hear much less about the ones who toughed it out through the worst of those disastrous times.

Timothy Egan byT.J. Stiles

[Timothy]

Thanks Dave, I traveled the area noted in Worst Hard Times, while reading it. Boice City, XIT Ranch, Baca County Colorado, Dalhart... IT was great! I took a lot of photos too.

I used to travel every bit of Jesse James haunts and the read now brings back memories.

[Grant]

Hi my name is Grant Masson and I am a Social Studies teacher at a high school in Indiana. I love history, all of it, but I particularly love the Civil War period within US History and WWII history. My father was older when he had me and he served in the Royal Air Force during WWII so I became a vessel for his stories and experiences. I am originally from Edinburgh Scotland where I grew up. I met my future wife in Scotland while she was on a university exchange program and after we got engaged we decided that The United States would be the place for us to live and raise a family. We have been married for 24 years and have two teenage sons and a menagerie of pets to round out the family. My oldest son is looking at colleges at the moment and is looking to major in history so I have passed on the torch for the love of history to him. My classroom is based around discussion and debate based on evidence from primary and secondary source documents and one of the main reasons I joined the group was to increase my knowledge base of history and pick up on new ideas and theories that I could introduce to my students. I thrive on discussion and can't wait to become involved in the many discussion threads that are available to this group.

[Bryan]

Hello Grant, a great introduction. Thank you. Please do browse our topics and start posting. For example, we have a Civil War topic:

Hi,
My name is Ajith Vijayan, am from India. I'm 22 doing my master degree in English Language and Literature. As part of my studies in English Literature I found myself entangled with some of my hidden intrest on Indian and European Histories. Am intrested in doing a master degree on Archeology too after my lit. course. I know History is a vast arena to seek through however, depending upon my intrest and craving for knowledge I intent to move forward. Its on my way I discovered this community, where I believe I could grasp a wide range of knowledge. I hope this community will surely become a stepping stone to my dream.

Hi everyone! My name is Karie, and I am a high school English teacher in New York. I have always been fascinated by history and the historical context that influences literature.

[Michael]

Hello,
My name is Michael and I am a political scientist and economist. For pleasure reading I am mostly drawn to history and my favorite time periods are ancient Greece and Rome, Renaissance Italy, and mid to late 19th century Europe. But I enjoy many biographical novels of artists and other creative personalities in history. As a social scientist I am also fascinated with places and times when momentous events and movements helped to define subsequent history.

[Lara]

Hello, I'm Bibi and I live in Berlin, Germany. I'm currently working on finishing my master's degree in North America Studies & Jewish studies with the focus in history and sociology. My main area of interest is: ... American cultural, political and social history, American Indian wars, Jewish and Israeli history. As I'm still looking for final exam study topics in history I thought I might find something interesting in here;)
Looking forward to this group discussions and recommendations!

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment. (There is a link on the top right of the comment 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 books you mention should look:

I am unfamiliar with the book you mentioned, The Atlantic. All I can think of is the magazine. Perhaps you can add the citation for that one so that we can look it up? Thanks
