Hi! My name is Kiera. I am a laboratory scientist in Utah. I recently have wanted to read up on American history and don't know where to start. I will be looking for some book recommendations and opinions! Thanks!
Hi, everyone, I'm Bill Reitter from Glassboro, New Jersey, USA and am married and retired. After studying philosophy and psychology I became a tour operator and bus driver. This gave me plenty of time to read during wait times. Radical history, along with science and poetry, became one of my passions. Some of my favorite authors are Howard Zinn, Barbara Ehrenreich, Noam Chomsky, Susan Jacoby, Jared Diamond and Chris Hedges...to name just a few. I am a Green Party official and serve on the communications and social media committee. As a Green, I work for social justice, environmental wisdom, grassroots democracy, and peace on earth. As a secular humanist, I trust in people power, art, science, compassion and hope. Life is an exciting and adventurous journey of discovery. I can not afford to travel, so books are my window on the world and my path to new insights and understandings about people and planet. I may be older, at age 74, but am still young at heart, and open to new ideas, inventions and opportunities.
The inside of our house looks like a library with book shelves in almost every room. Sometimes I visit prisons to give my books away to inmates who do not have any. I am a conscientious objector to all wars, especially aggressive wars of occupation for greed and profit. So, naturally, the history of war and peace is of great interest to me.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing with all the history buffs and scholars out there. "If we fail to learn the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat its folly"...this would be a great tragedy. But if we achieve greater understanding and wisdom from studying the past we may be able to chart a course to survive and thrive.
Greetings! My name is Roland. I am an academic and a lover of history. I look forward to participating in this group and interacting with others who appreciate good books.
Hi all. My name is Robert, from Long Beach, California. I've been on a jag for the last couple of years trying to understand America's racial history and how it affects contemporary American society. I look forward to participating in the group.

Welcome to the History Book Club - we do not allow self promotion but we are glad you are a member.
I took the opportunity to repost your introduction minus the segment which is not allowed according to our rules and guidelines.
Thank you in advance for your understanding Albert.
===================
Hi everyone!
My name is Albert Mulles and currently I work as department head for the International Linkages Center for Saint Paul School of Business and Law located in the Philippines. I love to read social history and military history because of the conventional wisdom associated with understanding our past. ..... I lost many good friends and neighbors during that time...and it inspired me .....about it lest humanity forget the "strongest typhoon ever to make landfall in the history of mankind."
Welcome all our news members. Thanks for joining and please post on our threads and join a book discussion.
Hello. My name is Jonathan Baum, and I love to read history books of all sorts, but especially military history. I don't have a specific era or topic that monopolizes my attention, but I prefer serious and somewhat academic history over books with lots of illustrations - although I admit that they are useful for topics like fortifications or ship design. I also enjoy biographies, especially of military or political leaders, and books about science. I am currently reading Beans, Bullets And Black Oil by Worrall R. Carter, to give you an example of where my taste runs.
Welcome, Jonathan. Glad you could join us. We do have many military history topics:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Hello,My name is Nick Wyckoff, I'm an aerospace engineer that is focused mostly on the space science and defense industries. My preferred historical reading primarily focused on military history since an understanding of that topic helps me with work.
I prefer "topics" over specific authors and I tend to read things in clusters. My most recent study has been on maneuver warfare and has stretched from Roman times to Vietnam covering a wide range of tactics.
I do have a weakness for the first person narrative, so when I do decide to write a review it's usually for a book like that.
Hello! I am José Luís and I am a Portuguese high school student who is fascinated by History (in fact I love all subjects but I have a special relationship with this field of study). I like all History topics but my favourite eras are Antiquity (with an emphasis in the classical civilizations and Late Antiquity), the Middle Ages [I love specially the western kingdoms and Byzantium (although I hate that name as it’s a bit ugly for me and in fact they were the late remnants of the Roman Empire, but that’s a topic for discussions in other threads) and the early modern period. I hope you will like me and that we will have fruitful discussions!

Hello, my name is Celine and I am a nursing student in Canada. My primal reason for joining this group is to expand my knowledge regarding historical events by learning from fellow members and their recommended books. As of now, I am interested in learning about the Roman and Babylonian times. Because I do not actively learn history in school and do prefer non-fiction to fiction, I will be glad to be a participant of this group!
A warm welcome, Celine. Let me get you acquainted with the club by providing a link to our Ancient History thread.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Hello! My name's Lys, I'm 20 and I study philology in Moscow. I want to find out as more about history as I can. It's not a strong side of mine, so I'll appreciate all the recommendations, especially about the history of Europe and about the Second World War. I also would like to know more about european dynasties, so, that is.
Happy to join you,
Best wishes,
Lys
Howdy, I am Bill from Northern California. I am retired from USPS. I enjoy history , especially US and European (UK & Ireland) history. I am not a writer, just a reader. I like political histories.

Hello! I'm excited to be part of this group and hope to receive and give some great recommendations as well as take part in discussions. I love reading about most periods and historical events, but my main areas of interest are Stalinist-era Soviet Union, U.S. Presidential history, and Afghanistan. I work as an appellate criminal defense attorney in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - but history is my first love. Thanks for including me!
Hi Tim. I was born in Gibsonia, and lived in Erie, so it is good to see a Pittsburgh-er in the group.We have a topic on Stalin:

Hi, I'm Julie and I'm a paralegal and law student. I love history, and for now, am especially interested in reading legal-related historical works. I also enjoy biographies and autobiographies of women, as it seems like there are so many interesting females throughout history, but we often see less about them, versus men, overall.
Hello all! My name Keri. I live in the United States. I absolutely love history and always have. I am even two classes away from a bachelor's degree in History. I have many reasons for why I love and study history but the biggest one is that I like stories and history provides me with the story of the world.
