Greetings one and all! My taste and reading as far as history is really eclectic. I enjoy reading about the latest discoveries in archeology, the Crusades, Ancient Egypt, Norse, Haitian Revolution, etc., etc. The list could go on and on.

Thank you for allowing me to share in my passion of history.

Hello folks.
I'm from Maine.
Looking forward to knowing some of you and reading great things.
Thanks

Hi. I'm Callum, 27 years old and love to read history books of all sorts. I often get myself in to cycles where I am reading a book and it makes reference to a war or historical period and then I have to go and read something on that and so on. Favourite topics to read about would definitely be European history from middle ages onwards (still a very broad category I know).

I'm looking forward to seeing what recommendations my fellow members have (as well as making some of my own) and getting involved in discussions.

Welcome new members! You might want to check out our 50 BOOKS IN 2016 section. You can see what other members have been reading and may find great suggestions there.

Hello, I am Rachel from Delaware. I like to read almost everything having to do with history. I also like biographies about famous and not so famous people. So far my favorite nonfiction book I have read this year is Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies. I am looking forward to joining in on discussions with everyone!

Hi! I'm Kayla and I live in Detroit. I studied European history and global politics in college and I've been a teacher for the past five years. I'm a stay-at-home mom now, so I need an outlet for my history and literary passions! I'm interested in all history, but especially modern European history, Latin American history, Ancient history, and current events. I'm looking forward to reading and participating in discussions here!

Hi! I'm Harshali from Mumbai, India. I work as a consultant in Insurance. Dancing and reading are my favourite things to do, and I'm glad I found this group. I have always read fiction, but have recently found an interest in non-fiction history books. I want to read all the major history non-fiction books that I can get my hands on!

Hi, My name is Kimba, but I go by my nickname Allie. I live in Tucson, Arizona and I am a historian who specializes in the history of modern Europe (esp. 20th century Germany), gender and sexuality, and religion in the transatlantic world. I wanted to join the group in order to meet others interested in history and in discussing topics in history.

Hello, my name is Răzvan Muntea, I am 26 years old, live in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania and work here as a computer programmer. When I was young, studying in what we call here ”general school”(11-14 years of age) my favorite subjects were Mathematics, English and History. I chose to continue my studies and follow a career in a technical field, but I believe Humanities are also a part of me. I am currently reading Romanian and European History, hoping to get a better idea how different cultures developed and interacted throughout my country and continent, how people lived their lives around here in the past and how the past influences the present.

Good evening. I am a professor of History and Political Science and I like to read and discover new materials that I can offer students. I read mostly history from the modern era, defined as the 15th century to the present. (actually to 1914)(1914 could be considered the post-modern era) I know how can one be post-modern. Please do not ask me to explain. I like to read all kinds of materials in both World History, American History, Latin American History, etc. I specialize in American Politics and Public Policy. Do not ask me to explain Donald Trump, some phenomena are beyond reasonable explanation. I also study Global studies and the effects of NGO's. I am also very interested in Voting Rights and Civil Rights in the US. A never ending evolving topic. I look forward to some great conversations. Though this is a new post, I have been a member for some time.

Hi, I am Binny from India. Work in IT-India. 29 years old and have great interest on the history of India. mostly post independence stuff. A backpack traveler around India.

Love Indian politics so I read books mostly about post independence(Nehru, Gandhi era) to related it with current scenario. Happy to be here.

Welcome all new members :)

Welcome to all the new members. You are in for a real treat as you share your love of history with the HBC. Please jump right into the discussions........and be sure to ask any of the moderators if you have any questions. Enjoy!!!

Hello. My name is Mallory Smith. I am a high school student from the U.S. I just joined this club, today. I love biographies which would be why I am looking forward to reading "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention" from your list of books.

I also love learning about dynasties such as the Chinese dynasties, royal dynasties of England, dynasties of Egypt, and basically any book that you can learn a lot about world history. The main thing I would like to do is slowly better my knowledge on historical figures from different backgrounds such as inventors, ministers, presidents, reformers, and anyone else life would be different without.

As you may have noticed, I have a pretty broad interest when it comes to history books.

Hi,
I'm Cora, 24 from Belfast, Ireland.

I would consider myself relatively new to the history genre. Despite having a love of history as a subject throughout school and thoroughly enjoying history tv/movies, I have found myself reading historical fiction and historical fantasy more than texts from which I can be assured that what I'm reading is historical fact (at least for the most part, we can excuse a little poetic license). That said, I prefer to read a story rather than factual books.

I enjoy earlier history, say pre-1900 at most. In particular I like areas which are slightly fantasized such as renaissance/medieval, ancient history/legend, roman and greek history, Victorian era, Tudor era etc.

My greatest interest is in Ancient Irish History/Legend.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Sister Fidelma mystey, Atonement of Blood:
by Peter Tremayne
However again, these are fictional books and I would like more educational reading around this period of history.

I'm looking forward to everyone's suggestions in these areas but I am equally looking forward to being introduced to new areas of historical writing as I'm a curious person and there's very little that I don't find interesting! :)

Hello! I am a student in the United States interested in history especially after taking AP European History. One of our class requirements was to review a historical book each quarter, and that has exposed me to this genre. I particularly enjoy scientific history and have read about the transition of alchemy to chemistry all the way up to Heisenberg's moral dilemma in the atomic bomb.

Hi! I'm Heather. I live in a suburb of Chicago. I've always had an interest in history. I can't remember a time I didn't love learning about the past. As a child I would pull a volume of the encyclopedia (remember those?) off the shelf, open it, and just start reading.

I love most kinds of literature:
History, biography, historical fiction, classic fiction, modern fiction, fable, folklore, humor, mystery, suspense, memoir, philosophy and self help.

Greetings to all. My name is Barry Arthur Cotton and I am the 7th great grandson of the Rev. John Cotton. Renowned as The Puritan Patriarch of New-England, John Cotton was a Founding Father to America’s Founding Fathers and established both the first public school and the first university in North America- the Boston Latin School and Harvard University. I serve as a Trustee of the Partnership of the Two Historic Bostons that links Boston, England and Boston, Massachusetts and am President Emeritus of the Winthrop Society. I grew up in Longmont, Colorado and received a B.A. in philosophy from Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan and an M.A. in ESL/linguistics from the University of Hawaii. I worked most of my life overseas in Japan and the Middle East and recently retired to Austin, Texas after having served as special advisor to an ambassador at the United Nations in New York City.

Hi,
I am Cathy, from Brisbane, Australia. Since retirement, I am more able to indulge my interest in history - fiction, non-fiction, and film, with especially Scottish history being a current focus. I am also interested in ancient history, the history of wars (WW1, WW2, American Civil War), American Politics history, past and more recent, and some British history. I have joined The History Book Club as I find books that others are reading both inspirational, and very satisfying to scan more broadly the range of books which are available in my areas of interest.

Hello, My name is Stanley Applebaum. I will celebrate my 85th birthday later this year on October 2. My education and profession was in engineering but I have always had a strong interest in History. We recently moved from the rural area of New York state to New York city which is where I was born and grew up. Until we moved I was a member of a history book club which met in a restaurant in Lennox Massachusetts once a month. Our group covered the topic pretty well and I myself presented several books during the period of my participation. Among the topics covered by the books I presented were; Abraham Lincoln, a history of the Arab people, a biography of Joseph Stalin, and a biography of king Henry VII. I was unable to find a substitute for this book club here in New York and I am hoping that this on-line club will work out for me. I recently read an analysis and history of the American economy by Robert Gordon entitled “ The Rise and Fall of American Growth” It presents a provocative thesis that the era of growth is over in America. If Gordon is right I have profound concerns for our country.

What a great introduction, Stan!! We are so glad that you have decided to join this group of history buffs......looks like you will fit right in.

You have so many areas of interest, that I am directing you to our home page where you can browse and find those areas that catch your attention.

Hi.

Myself Anit Antony. 27. Merchant Mariner. India.

History was always this boring subject for me in school. Saw no relevance in learning of the past. I was more into looking at the future, having a vision.

But, of late, i started reading a few titles, beyond my comfort zone and became keen to know more.

I was initiated by the book, A Little History Of The World by E. H. Gombrich, and ever since, I am hooked to learn more.

Our past, our evolution into the civilised world we are today. And I have become keen to know more.

So here I am.

Hello everyone! My name is Nicky, I'm 32 years old and I am originally from New York. I have been a lover of history for many years. After high school I attended college for a short time as a history major before I made the decision to join the service. I've spent the last almost 11 years in the U.S. Navy and finally two years ago I made the decision to go back to college- this time with a double major of history and linguistics. I find it difficult to narrow my interest down to a specific area of history and I love the way different cultures and eras of history intertwine. I'm particularly interested in British/European history, ancient history, and the part that religion has played in each. I am very happy I came across this group and look forward to interacting with others who share my love!

Hello I'm Brina from Ohio formerly Chicago. I majored in history, spanish, and Latin American studies in college and my areas of enjoyment are both American and Latin American history, but I'm always interested in history of the world so I'm excited to be in this group. Looking forward to the Scalia biography read.

Hi everyone! I'm Carlos, I'm 17 and from Phoenix. I've only recently gotten back into reading after a two year hiatus, but I've gained a better appreciation for history, literature, and politics. I'm currently reading up on American history, especially the period covering the rise of conservatism. Anybody have any recommendations?

Hi, I'm Simon. I'm interested, as a historian and also as a reader, in hearing about new work in medieval history and the history of Spain, and in learning more about what people are currently reading. This forum seems to be a good way of getting a better understanding of these things, and learning about new titles in a wide range of fields.

Hello and welcome, Simon to the place to be for the history lover. We are an international group so you will find a very divergent choice of books from which to choose.

Hi everyone :) I'm Kat from Berlin. History has always been an interest of mine, so naturally when it came to choosing what to study I made up my mind real quick. I did my M.A. in British history of the 18th century with a focus on travel literature. And that's what I am most interested in: 18th century Britain, everything connected to Scotland and Victorian England. I also read quite a lot about World War 2, but I am generally interested in many historical topics. So I'm glad to have found a group here with like-minded people :)

You indeed are among like-minded people, Kat and we welcome you. Lots to see and do here. You might want to start with your favorite subject.

Hello, My name is Jago, but online I go by my username Live4reading. I am relatively new to the online social media thing, but I love reading and I am an avid student of history. I'm always looking out for great book recommendations. I particularly enjoy history around the Cold War, conflicts in regions like South America, South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and ideological differences during the Cold War era between the major superpowers. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Thanks for the welcomes. I don't know how I didn't find this group before. I am excited especially for a thread on history of Latin America and participating in the discussions when I can.

We did a group read on the Incas a few years ago.

Thank you Kressel, I am adding it to my shelves.

A warm welcome to new members, Nicky, Anit, Rok, Brina, Carlos, and Jago. This is the place to meet and interact with other history lovers.......lots to see and do. Questions?.......ask any moderator. Enjoy!!

I would like to introduce my self, but I don't know if this is the place to do it.
I am a danish anthropologist, 54 years old. I have been interested in history for at least a couple of years. By reading a bit of this and a bit of that I feel that I have gained an overall understanding of world history. This was the goal I set for my reading, so in some sense I have achieved it.
I think I particularily like "focused history". By this I mean history that dwells on something specific, like the influenza epedimic after first world war, the building of the Panama canal, Europe after second world war, or something like the history of coal, "Focused history" can also be driven by a theoretical or political argument. I did like Nial Fergussons Civilization in which he compares different regimes at different points in time, drawing out lessons for the present.
I do not like history I percieve as sloppy, with no point. I hate too repetetive writing.

I am here to be inspired. I have never tried to use a forum like this. I look forward to trying this.

My name is Ingrid and I live in Wisconsin. I enjoy reading historic biographies. Both my parents immigrated to the US from Austria. My father was born in a German speaking town in Romania, but had to flee to Austria at the end of the war when the Russians invaded. Right now I am doing a lot of research my father's hometown and genealogy. I am specifically researching and interested in information about German history, SS Wiking division, World War II, Post-World War II Europe, Eastern European history, and the Donauschwaben people.

Welcome to all new members. Be sure to check out the many topics listed in the History Book Club main page. There's something for everyone there.

I have recently been introduced to Good Reads and thoroughly enjoy the fact that I am not alone in my interest in history. I am fascinated by the U.S. Civil War and the people involved. I am currently reading The Other Half: The Life of Jacob Riis and the World of Immigrant America. I read Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln last year and found it an interesting look at the end of the 19th Century in the United States.

Thanks for joining our group of avid history buffs, Don.....you have come to the right place!! Here is a link to one of your favorite topics just to get you started.
