Hello! I'm Annie and I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm a student looking to expand my knowledge of history after I finish final exams in about a week, and am really looking for good book recomendations and discussion. I'm especially interested in ancient history, as well as brushing up on some European history in preperation for a class I'm set to take next year. Happy to be joining the group!
Hi my name is Nathaniel and I live in NJ. I am a substitute teacher about to complete my masters degree in education to teach history and ESL. My main interests are world history; particularly that of pre-columbian Latin America and ancient/medieval Europe. I also enjoy studying Irish history and that of immigration. My bachelors degree is in history with a world focus. My weak area is that of US history so I've been reading some books related to that. I do enjoy Native American history though and that of their religious practices. One book I am currently reading is that of "Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves".
Hi everyone! My name is Shannon and I'm a student in Pennsylvania. I love learning about history but in school it can sometimes seem a little dull, especially if the teacher is monotonous. However, when I'm on my own researching, I absolutely love everything about it. I really enjoy the history of Greece and Rome and their culture. I also love learning about World War I and World War II. In the future, I aim to do something in the art or literature field, but also have history woven into it too. It's great to be a part of this group and hope to learn more through it!
Hi everyone. I am Zeynep & I live in France. I have an eclectic background with degrees in art, engineering, and finance. I have been reading quite a bit of history & historical fiction in the past year or so, with emphasis on scientific & mathematical themes. Looking forward to discuss books & exchange recommendations. This is the book I'm currently reading:

Welcome, Annie. Glad you could join us. Our Ancient History Discussion Threads might be a great place for you to start: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
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.)

Welcome Annie, Nathaniel, Shannon, Zeynep, and Maya. Good to have you join us.
Hi and welcome Natalia from Canada. Looking forward to reading your comments.
Hello,My name is Pierre and I am writing you from Canada's capital: Ottawa. I am Franco-Ontarian, which is to say that my first language is French and that I was born and raised in Ontario. I am an avid reader of history books and was a major in the subject so I would consider myself a bit of a nerd.
That being said, I do read fairly slowly but I attribute that to my want to absorb every detail of what I am reading.
My reading preferences are pretty diverse but I like European history and that of the Americas, including Canada and the United States. I've taken a particular interest in British, French, Russian and German history. However, despite my being French-Canadian, I am a staunch monarchist so I do tend to fancy biographies of monarchs, as well.
Good reading!
Pierre
Hi my name is Jeffrey Aaron and like you I'm passionate about history; everything from the last five seconds before the Big Bang to the present. My main focus however is with Mesopotamian pre-history dating back from about the 4th millennium BC. I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded people and enjoying a this new learning experience.
I am Katie. I am in Florida, USA. I'm interested in history as it ties into teaching literature. I like to pair any readings I teach with a historical text, so student get cross-curricular information as well as historical context for their reading.I teach 9th grade high school English.
I look forward to seeing what's here and getting information from those interested in history.

Hi, I'm Veronica from Alberta, Canada. I am originally from Ontario but moved to Alberta when I married. I worked in financial services but right now am a stay at home mom until the kids are in school full-time. I have loved reading since I was very young and grew up with mysteries and biographies on one side (mom) and history on the other (dad). I read many kinds of books, fiction and non-fiction but have a special love of history especially ancient.
We are glad to welcome you, Veronica.....it is nice to add another Canadian to our membership. Let me start you off with our link to your favorite era of history....Ancient Historyhttps://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Hi guys,My name is Greg and I am always fascinated with world history. I am also interested in business history as well as biography. Learning lessons from the past events is my practical reason for reading topics in history. What keeps me going is the intrinsic pleasure of knowing how people and events in the past shape current situations in our global community.

Hey everyone, my name is Kayla Roberts. I'm a Public Health student and my primary interest in history is British, Russian, and American. This is usually because it fits into my family history very nicely. I look forward to all the topics I have yet to discover.
Hi to all,I let Isaac Bashevis Singer explain what 'History' means to me:
"The past is not lost. An image from years ago remained present somewhere in the fourth dimension and it reached you just in that moment."
The Cafetaria in 'The Last Demon', Penguin Classics, 2011
and at the same "time" I agree with W. G. Sebald:
"…, or more precisely I shall find that all moments of time have co-existed simultaneously, in which case none of what history tells us would be true, past events have not yet occured but are waiting to do so at the moment we think of them,..."(p. 144)

Hello All!I am Ben Brunson and I am happy to be in the group. I have been an avid reader of history since I was 10 years old. My love of history, especially the history of the 20th Century, has been an important part of my life.
History is my avocation. Finance and economics are my professional training. I have a degree in Economics from Northwestern University and a MBA from the University of Chicago.
I am the proud father of three grown children (so far, so good) and still an active lacrosse player at the age of 52. In my youth I was a drummer. I would love to say that I am still good, but the reality is that I have lost the battle to rust when it comes to my chops (all you drummers out there know what I mean!).
I love reasoned and logical discussion, so I will try to jump in and contribute a little when passion dictates.
My best to all of the group.
Ben
Hello! My name is Kristie and I'm a resident of Gainesville, Florida (Go Gators!). I have a love for history that was birthed from visiting historical sites on family road trips (who doesn't want to take a biking tour of Gettysburg for their family reunion?!), and multiple relatives reenacting battles. I look forward to participating in the book studies and I'm already enjoying Hanns & Rudolph!
I definitely didn't mean to spell Rudolf that way, my apologies.
