[Meg]

Hello. Meg from the San Francisco Bay Area here. Love history and have been focusing on WW I and WW II of late. Also interested in presidential and world leader biographies. I am very excited by the idea of this history group and look forward to the new ideas and recommendations this forum can offer.

[Jill H.]

Welcome, Meg, from beautiful San Francisco. You have several favorite eras of history, so let me get you started with our link to The First World War.

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.

[Holly]

Hi all! I am new to The History Book Club. I am a violinist and a teacher. I love reading (don't we all) and among some the topics I enjoy are history of politics and economics, memoirs, and historical fiction. I only recently started getting active on Goodreads. I love finding out about books from others.Looking forward to participating in your community!

[AB]

Hi all, my name is Ailis. I'm a 21 year old law graduate. I joined this group because I'm really interested in 19th and 20th century history, mostly focussing on World War One and two. However I'm also interested in the history of Russia, preferably during the cold way era and afterwards. I also enjoy reading about Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Cambodian history, again mostly modern history such as the 19th and 20th century. I'm returning home from China for the second time next week and would really appreciate some suggestions of books about recent Chinese history, thank you in advance.

[Jill H.]

Hi, I am Theresa Adams, from the wheatlands of SE Washington state. I have a microbiology degee -- so books of the history of medicine and the great cholera outbreak of London in the 1850s especially amuse me. Having recently read the biography Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas, I'd like to learn more about German history. Bonhoeffer was quite inspiring.

[Christine]

Hi, My name is Sphene. I'm new to the group. I'm from the United States and recently joined the group because I like reading books about WWI and WWII. I love learning and listening to great courses or modern scholar lectures. I haven't tackled the Civil War yet. So that is one thing on my to do list. So if anyone has an good books to recommend I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

[Niklas]

Hello! I'm Niklas, residing in Helsingborg/Sweden.
I have a great love for history, especially modern history and I try to devour all books that I can come across on the subject. Right now I'm reading "Guns Of August"(or "Augusti 1914", which is the name of the swedish edition).
At work, I run a small it-company, and have a background in mathematics,economics and computer-science.

I'm very excited to have joined this group, looking forward to some interesting discussions and some new friends=)
Cheers,
Niklas

[Will]

Hello everyone,

my name is Will and I hail from Sacramento, California. I studied European history at UC San Diego and graduated in 2010. I focused on politics and diplomacy. I will be starting my masters at Cambridge fall of 2014 in Modern European History with a focus on German Colonialism. I plan to go on to get my Doctorate. I have been passionate about history since I was young when it began with an interest I military history and grew from there.

I spent a year living in Germany where I became fluent in German.

I look forward to some good discussions and recommendations from this group.

Sincerely,

Will

[Eric]

Good Afternoon (it's after noon somewhere ;) ),

My name is Eric. I live in Tampa, Florida, USA. My main interest is military history. However, I am interested in all aspects of history.

I'm an avid reader in these areas and have been since childhood. I'm not sure from where my interest originally sparked. It was probably inspired by my mother's interest in her ancestry and my father's interest in WWII, which he participated in as a sailor in the U.S. Navy.

I'm looking forward to interesting intercourse here in this group. Thanks for having me.

Regards,

~Eric

[Lacey]

My name is Lacey, from Ripley, Mississippi. I have a master's degree in medieval history from the University of Mississippi. But I'm interested in just about all types of history.

I got my start in history from listening to the family stories and my dad giving me a JFK half dollar and telling me not to spend it. A portrait of JFK now hangs in my home office.

I'm looking forward to interacting with the group.

[Eric]

Lacey wrote: "...my dad giving me a JFK half dollar and telling me not to spend it."

Hi Lacey,

My dad did the same for me. Unfortunately, I spent mine.

Welcome to the group! I'm newly minted here myself.

Regards,

~Eric

[Melissa]

hi! I'm Melissa and I'm from South Carolina. I feel awkward having read some of the other people's introductions. I am not an aficionado in history. my love has just come recently. I thought my journey may help if I am in a group with knowledgeable people. I hope that is OK. I love old war stories and ancient history especially. I hope it is OK I've joined. I'm really hoping to broaden my knowledge and my new love. Thanks!

[Eric]

I'm sure everyone will love having you onboard, Melissa. I don't believe there's any requirement here that you be an expert in any form in order to participate. History should be a continuous learning experience for us all. I'm no expert either; just a lifelong hobbyist in History, you might say.

Regards,

~Eric

[Deathdrive]

Hey guys this is Jerry from the coldest part of China. I love history books, particularly books on American history.

[Maria Rita]

Hello everybody, I'm from Italy. I'm 50 years old and I'm graduate in Medieval History. (Bologna's University) I do like history because I think we all are the result of our personal story, our family's story and the world story. I think the main problem with history is that nobody seem to learn from the past so we are likely to do always the some mistakes. Sorry for my awful English! Maria Rita

Hi everyone, I am Rine le Comte, computer scientist and historian from the Netherlands. Currently I am finishing my master thesis at Utrecht University. I am reading all kinds of historical non-fiction and fiction from all periods and subjects, although I tend to focus on western history.

Welcome, Rine. Thank you for introducing yourself. Glad you could join us. I am sure as you browse through the different topics you will find something that interests you. We have a couple of different group reads coming up in September. Hope to see you there.

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:
