Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie, I live in Austria and I'm studying at Vienna University (not history but it's a passion of mine). I am interested in legal history and social history.
Recently I have discovered my passion for Asia and the books at the top of my to-read list are mostly about the history of China, Japan and Korea.

We are glad to welcome another member from beautiful Austria, Stephanie. Vienna is such an historic city. Since you have interest in Asia, let me suggest you visit the following threads here at the HBC.

East Asia

There are many other folders where you can discuss topics that interest you.

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.

Hi, I'm Ryan, still a student, from India. I like to read History books, Historical romance, satire etc. One well-known proverb comes to my mind in this context--'History repeats itself'. I'm basically fascinated with this process of repetition or/and representation, its take on the act of repetition or vice-versa, and other role-playing factors. I would like to read Historical fictions in which individuals try to assimilate themselves or be a part of History. It is also something that I like the way History gets unfurled in a picaresque manner, though the protagonist should not be entitled as a picaro. If the book is based upon 'Indian History', I'll be mostly delighted.

I hope I'll learn a lot from this group.

Thanks

Hi, my name Saeed.I'm 27 and a geologist. As an avid reader, I enjoy a wide variety of genres and subjects. however, the fact that I've neglected history, as a genre, caught my attention recently. I hope that by joining this group, I will find useful hints about navigating through the wide genre of history.

Good Day Everyone,
I'm Persis and though Indian by Nationality I live in Botswana, Africa. I've done my Masters in English Literature and have been running a Bookshop in Botswana for the past 15 years. I've never enjoyed Histroy as a child but now that I've discovered Historical Fiction I can't stop reading. When I say reading I mean that in the broad sense as the last time I've physically picked up a book has been some years now. I like to listen to my books and am an Audible Junkie. I greatly enjoy books about the 1800's and would love recommendations.

Hello..

Hello,

I am a graduate of the Concordia University (Montreal) undergraduate History program (BA '97).

My interest is mostly around social and medical history of early industrial Europe, but I'm pretty open minded.

Looking forward to being a bit more active in this group :)

A warm welcome, Ryan and thanks for the insightful introduction regarding the repetition of events in history.....it appears that man never learns from experience. Take a look at our India folder and hopefully it will provide even more to your knowledge of the history of that beautiful country.

Hi, I am Marybeth. I just graduated from undergraduate school. I am hoping to complete a PSY D program within the next few years.

I enjoy a plethora of genres. I am very fascinated in history. I enjoy gaining knowledge from very early civilization to current occurrences. I have enjoyed reading WWII autobiographies, books concerning civil right or feminist movements, and historical fiction.

I am generally open for reading anything concerning past and present war and conflict and also how we have developed from a social, cultural, and psychological perspective over the years.

Thank you everyone.

Oh and I'm from the U.S.

Welcome, Marybeth. You certainly came to the right place for the lover of all things history. You might want to browse our home page to find all the topics that catch your eye.....and I will start you with one of your favorites.

Hello everyone!

This is Imran Azeem from Pakistan. I've recently completed my Electrical Engineering from a prestigious engineering school of my country.

Even though it is a generally held belief that school books are boring and repetitive but my love for history stems from my time in middle school. I was blessed to have a history teacher who would bring the books alive by painting such vivid images in our minds with all the details of past events whether it be the Confress of Vienna, the consort of Europe, the history of Magna Carta or the First World War. Once I was hooked to it, there was no going back and I'm really happy because reading history is very satisfying.

My interest in history is not limited however the things I've mostly read have been about the people and events the last thousand or so years. Mostly the time after the Magna Carta. When compared to my engineering school friends and peers, I've read a lot about the world wars, European history, American history starting from the American War of Independence to the end of Cold War.

I really look forward to meeting like minded people here and discuss the things they've read and what was so great about the books they've read and tell them about my opinions on the books that I've read.

Regards,

Imran

Hi, my name is Anna. I have been interested in History for as long as I can recall. Especially the Plantagenet era, I also have an interest in the Tudors, where my interest then jumps to the Great War and World War II. I am hoping next year to go to university to study History.

Hi everyone,

My name is Carolyn Harris and I teach history at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies. My main history interests are royal history, medieval&Early Modern Europe, Imperial Russia and Canadian history. This is my first month as an active participant on Goodreads and I look forward to receiving new book recommendations from fellow history enthusiasts!

Hi Everyone, I'm Andrew, and recently I've realized my passion for reading, especially historical nonfiction. I've never had much of a history background as I work in the science field, but I've been buying up a lot of history books from a used book store and plan to read them once I get a chance. If there are any good history books that I should read and is not on my list, please let me know!

Hi, all. My name is Sam and I'm a business and mathematics students. My favorite class in high school was history and even though I haven't taken much history in college, I've still trying to keep educating myself by absorbing myself in books whenever I can. I mostly read biographies. And of the biographies I read, mostly presidential biographies though I'm sure I would be happy to branch out. I look forward to learning from all of you.

Ah, have just realised what you meant when you referred to 'add book/author'! So when I introduced myself a couple of weeks ago, I didn't realise. Sorry! I'm becoming a lot more au fait with GR the more I use it. Thanks for your patience.

Can someone help me with favoriting a list? I saw a list that I want to save into "Lists I like" but there's no option to do that. When I go into "Lists I like" it's blank, and no option to add any lists. Maybe I just don't see it.

Hello, hello. My name is Lesley and I have 56 kids... Just kidding... I have 4... But it feels like 56. I am also a history teacher. I love reading, pugs, and saying I exercise. People think I am an extrovert, but I am actually an extroverted introvert. My goal is to teach every student to use critical-thinking to dissect their world to come to their own conclusions, but I know this is a lofty goal. I hope to discover some awesome books and try to meaningfully contribute to conversations in this group.

Salud,

Hi,

I am Hassan Qadeer from Pakistan. I am a college student with English Literature Major. I am looking for a sense of direction in life, which so many liberal arts students lack :P But seriously, if there is a book you know which can enhance my understanding of the world, do suggest it to me. I am open for discussions on the books that I have read, all the time. Do drop by!

A warm welcome Hassan.....loved your comment about liberal arts students!! It is a little difficult to recommend one book that will enhance your understanding of the world, so I will suggest that you browse our home page, find a topic that is of interest to you and find books there that might fit the bill. There are thousands of great book recommendations here at the History Book Club.

So glad to see so many new members...Teri and Bryan have given you the information you need to begin participating in our international history book club. If you have questions, ask any of the moderators....and, welcome!

Hi Andrew!

You can actually like a list by bringing it up and going to the bottom and clicking the "like" button. It's sometimes hard to find, but it is at the end of the list and above the "comments" section. You'll see an area that has the different pages of the list (i.e. Previous, 1, 2, 3,...Next), then below that is the "like" or "unlike" button.

Here's an example screen shot with the "like" button in the lower left hand side of the screen:



Once you "like" the list, it will show up in the "Lists I Like" section of your profile.

I hope that helps.

Thank you for creating this group. I've had an unrealized dream since high school world history class to create a reference library of good books about the history of each country. I don't know if that's a viable dream! But the recommendations here, I suspect, will be very helpful. As time has passed, I still have not read many history books, and I'm itching to start. I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.

Welcome Andrew to The History Book Club. I believe that you will indeed find many recommendations for your reference library. It's definitely a viable dream.

We have a variety of folders which may interest you, many that will help you on your expanding library. Based upon your post - here is one that you may want to look at:

World History

You may want to start at our Home Page to peruse our many discussion topics:

The History Book Club

There are many other folders where you can discuss topics that interest you.

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 that you mention should look:

My warm greetings to moderators and members of the group. I am Mayank Chawla, I am a graduate from Delhi University and live in Delhi, India. History is one of my personal favourite and right now I am almost obsessed with medieval Indian history, which is awesomely colourful and diverse with numerous threads. I hope to learn a lot from the esteemed members of the group and hope to have a good time here. :)

Welcome Mayank to The History Book Club. We're glad to have you. I think you will find this to be a fun and exciting group.

Hey all! My name is Kayleigh and I'm from Gibraltar. I'm hopefully going to be starting a BA in Classical studies this October, granted I can get the funding I need. But my interest in History isn't just strictly the Ancient Greeks and Romans. I love pretty much all periods in history but some of my favourites (besides Greece and Rome) would be: Medieval (especially Vikings!), Tudor and Stuart England and Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings. Oh, and the World Wars. I'm looking forward to seeing what great books I can find :)
