Yes. I appreciate your correcting me on the memoir part. I hate it when my memory of this type of thing falls off.

Everyones input makes me very excited to get started!

Yep, we had this discussion before about the meaning of 'historical'. We decided that a book is historical if it was set at least 15-20 before it was written, not before now.

Would anyone be interested in reading a classic with me?

I believe you are in the right place for classics.

[Holly]

Lol yes, I think I am! :-D

May I suggest Nathanial Hawthorne?

Other people suggestions in this group have been great so far. Read one / two great books that I would never otherwise considered to read.

(Someone mentioned "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" well I live in Brooklyn and there is more than one tree.)

I have to admit, the Bookshelf for this group seems somewhat lacking, maybe?

Please take a look at those I have added to my own Shelf:
