Hi CC, I'm enjoying it so far.
Which goodreads history forum? There are so many history forums, I can't figure out which one it is. I would love to read the discussions on it. Thanks.

J. (jdrew) | 153 comments I finished The White Raven by Carrie D. Miller The White Raven and found it to be a really good read about a modern witch with a real problem. I'd recommend it to those who like witches and magick.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I finished The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. I think it started off really well, but then it seemed to lose focus. I was a bit disappointed with it, especially since it won the Pulitzer.

Lynda Dietz | 354 comments I just finished reading and reviewing The Secret Holocaust Diaries. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. It was a bit of a disappointment due to the way the information was arranged by the editors, as well as the content itself. The review (link above) explains more.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I finished Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie, a contemporary retelling of the story of Antigone. In spite of some flaws, I thought it was interesting to see how she wove the story of Antigone into her narrative. I gave it four stars.

Lynda, we're doing a group read on Crime and Punishment in the Classics and Western Canon group. We go through it slowly--a couple of chapters every week. You might want to consider joining. The discussion and analysis is detailed and interesting.

That sounds interesting! I'll give it a look, though I'm sure I'll be more of a lurker than an active participant. Thanks for the suggestion!

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments I finished Robert Low's The Wolf Sea (Oathsworn #2). I preferred The Whale Road (Oathsworn #1) because I found it grittier and funnier, and more interesting.

I did enjoy The Wolf Sea even though I thought it had some flaws. I recommend it for enthusiasts of historical fiction and all things Viking.

David (drussell52) Hi, I just finished "Porcupine" by Julian Barnes. It is debatable just who is the porcupine in this story: Set in post-Socialist/Communist Soviet Union, the fictitious President of 33 years is tried for various crimes, which turn out to both be real and somewhat embelished by the prosecution. He, of course is found guilty and is banished. This novel was written/published around the mid-1990s, somewhat enjoyable but rather dry too.
