So glad you joined us Holly and Cri. This is the place for the history lover. Please join in the book recommendations/discussions and if there is anything you don't understand about the guidelines which Bryan provided you, just ask any moderator. Happy reading!!

[Bryan]

Welcome Swaroop and Megan. I'm glad to see you here.

[Bryan]

Hi Gerri. I don't think you will be disappointed in what we offer here. I had to edit your introduction here, because there is no self-promotion or statements saying you are an author.

---------------------------
Hi,
I'm a devoted history reader based in the U.S. and spend part of the year in France. I look forward to being part of the group.

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.

[Jerry]

I have always had an interest in history. I majored in history in college before going on to law school. I have always had a fascination for the history of Rome, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle Ages.

I like books like Justinian's Flea, Inventing the Middle Ages, Cicero's Letters to Atticus, etc.

[Jill H.]

A warm welcome, Jerry. You certainly came to the right place for the history lover. Let me give you a start with our link below to Ancient History

[Alok]

Hi All,

I am Alok. I am working in an investment banking firm in Mumbai, India. And I am profoundly in love with the time that has gone by. I feel every moment leaves its traces on me and that's what makes history interesting.
I like reading about all sorts of historical events and perspectives, particularly where there are conflicting opinions, because that's what makes me 'think'.
This is my first group on Goodreads and the quality of the members and the discussions here made me join it.
Looking forward to learning a bit more.

Cheers!!
Alok

[Joan]

Hi everyone,

I’m Joan from the Hudson Valley, originally Detroit.

I’m trained as an art historian/ researcher (BA and MS). Fortunately/ unfortunately, I don’t have an off-switch when I read for leisure, and typically I end up taking pages and pages of notes, reading the footnotes, and looking up so many of the people, places and events mentioned in a book that it’s like I’m doing a paper. Fortunately, those habits are also how I usually find my next good book to read!

I don’t read presidential biographies, most autobiographies, general histories. I read about scandalous jazz singers whose husbands kept mysteriously dying. I read about what it was like to try to get into Mrs. Astors 400. I read about the tortuous history of psychiatry. I read about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s flapper wife, Zelda, rather than about him.

I don’t read hardly any fiction anymore, except for Kurt Vonnegut, but there’s so much truth in his works that he defies the genre-labeling of fiction. I’ve done a little bit of historical fiction, but honestly there are so many amazing, frightening, ghastly, gruesome, fantastic, weird true stories of people, places and times in history, and once I discovered that, fiction just seems like a waste of time.

I don’t know anyone IRL who reads what I like to read, so I hope I’ll find some like-minded individuals here to steer me in the direction of good books and motivate me to keep reading!

Here’s my top 9 all-time favorite books, just to get a sense of what I like:
The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York

The Princess Bride

Bobbed Hair and Bathtub Gin: Writers Running Wild in the Twenties

Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill

A People's History of the United States: 1492 - Present

The Little Prince

As Bees in Honey Drown: Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters

Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened

Let's Bring Back: An Encyclopedia of Forgotten-Yet-Delightful, Chic, Useful, Curious, and Otherwise Commendable Things from Times Gone By

[Fergus]

Fergus here, and I am most gratified to have come upon this discussion group.

I have always been an avid reader of history and as a kid had a fascination for the ancient world, particularly the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. My interest has since expanded to mainly encompass medieval and modern Europe, the US Civil War, the war in Vietnam, the age of colonialism, and the history of Africa and the Middle East.

To me, history is a continuous narrative driven in great measure by personalities, and the best historical writing brings that out in the telling of events. It also helps me appreciate how fortunate I am to live in the place and time that I do.

Most of those of us born in the First World, from about the middle of the 20th century onward, have it much better than probably 90% of everyone who existed before—better even than the immediately preceding generations in the West or royalty of times past. We came out pretty lucky in the lottery of life, and my love of history helps me keep that perspective.

[Lesliek]

Hi. I'm Leslie, a software engineer from San Jose, CA. I've always been interested in history. Never have enough time to read as much as I like, but as I get close to retirement I'm hoping to change that. My interests include ancient history, early European history, and American history, but I can get drawn into any book about interesting people and events.

[Bryan]

Hi Joan, I think you will find someone here that matches your taste. You are very welcome here and enjoy what we offer.

[Joseph]

Hi Everyone,
My name is Joe. I'm 40 yrs. old. Born and raised in San Diego, California. I joined the U.S. Army in 1992 until 2001. My last duty Station was in Schweinfurt, Germany where I met my wife and decided to get out,get married and start a Family. I work now in one of the ball bearing factories in Schweinfurt. I realy started reading history after I got out of the army. I don't really favor a particular time, but I do like military history more because of my Background. The books I read are mostly all in english because I don't really have that many english speaking friends anymore so it helps me not to forget how to speak in my native language. I hope to take part in some good discussions and learn a lot from all of you. I also read fiction. Mostly techno-Thrillers, adventure, and spy novels.

my name is Yuliya. I'm an art student, so I'm interested mainly in history of art. My main subject is German Expressionism and Weimar cinema.
I hope I will learn a lot form this group.

Hello huge 4175 post thread, and group. Names Sarah. I've probably read more than 76 history books, though that's what I've recorded on here, so far. At least, the ones I remembered include "History" as a tag.

I do not have a particular area that I focus on, though I do like reading about Roman Britain. Currently reading one book now that is focused on that subject, though I suspect that it will be just about to turn to the Jutes/Angles/Saxons.

Would have to go back five books, though, to find the last Roman Britain book I've read (at least among the books read shelved on the History shelf).

And just yesterday I completed a history book, sports history. Quite an interesting little book about an Illinois high school baseball team. A random pick up, read mostly because it had won the Alex Award.

Oh, right, before I leave the post, I'm from New York. Well, presently. Originally from Virginia.
