Hi! I'm Oswald from the Philippines. Always loved history since I was little and finished A History of the World (Marvin Perry) when I was 10. Love to read about World War II, Philippine-American War, the American Revolution, French Revolution, the British monarchy and the Kennedy years. Already working as a software engineer, I'm still planning to take a degree in History. Hope this group has some recommended books for historiography as well.

Welcome to the group, Oswald--we are glad you found us. We have discussions on all aspects of history so please feel free to join in.

Based on your post, you may find something to interest you in these topics:

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.

Hello everyone! I'm very happy to be here, and to discover some new titles. I'm a graduate school professor in humid (and historical) Virginia, and an unapologetic book nerd. I tend to be eclectic in my reading tastes -- fiction, thrillers, classics, poetry, sci-fi, history, and historical fiction, primarily. Why not, right?

In terms of history, I prefer books where the writer has clearly done gobs of research, but hasn't overwhelmed me with that research. Quality of writing is very important to me; the ability to tell complex stories in an engrossing, page-turning way. I want the human side of each story, not just facts. Some titles that did that for me include The River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic (both by Candice Millard), as well as In the Kingdom of Ice, by Hampton Sides. I also just started The Last Stand, by Nathaniel Philbrick, which I am enjoying thus far.

I am most interested in American history – the darkness, tragedies, ambitions, successes, delusions and foibles of the famous and not-so-famous individuals that helped shape this country (or at least left a mark on it, for better or worse). I am not afraid to go dark. History, like fiction, is best for me when the conflicts feel palpable and the struggles are laid bare.

Anyway. Thanks for having me. Now I need to scour these pages for inspiration!

and by Candice Millard by Hampton Sides by Nathaniel Philbrick

Hello Irene - we do not allow any self or group promotion. I have reposted your wonderful introduction here minus the offending segment and we are glad to have you with us:

Hi all!

My name is Irene and I've been active on Goodreads since last fall as I've recently begun to get back into reading books on a regular basis. ...... I try to mix up the type of books on my reading list, and fiction, comics, non-fiction has been my most categories. As I recently bought Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right it's inspired me to really dive into reading more history and incorporating these books into my regular reading practices.

Look forward to reading the books of the month, as well as finding new book recommendations!

Hello from Southern Michigan (Florida in the winter). My name is Dave and my favorite periods in history are post-Roman Britain, the American Civil War and WW II. I have been a history lover all my life, mostly due to the fact that my grandfather taught history in high school, so I grew up with megadoses of it. I am happy to be here.

Or you may want to participate. (You don't actually have to reach the goal of 50 books, but it's nice to have something to shoot for.)

Hi from central Nebraska. My name is Faith A. Colburn and I've been interested in history since my grandmother started me telling me stories about my family's arrival in the Nebraska Territory when it opened for settlement. I have period phases--by that I mean I'm interested in different eras at different times. Right now I'm particularly interested in the 1930s. I know a lot about that period in the rural areas of the West because I live here and I've been hearing and reading about it for most of my life, but I'd like to know more about that same period of time in the nation's big cities.

Hello Faith and welcome. Glad you could join us. We have a topic on the Great Depression

Thanks Bryan. I've got a few books to recommend, but it might take some time to get to them. I'm preparing to sell my house, so I packed up and moved my library to the garage. I can't tell you how crazy it makes me every day when I think of something I'd like to check.

Hi, I live in Washington state. I majored in history in college and have retained that interest. I enjoy biography, military history
and 20th century history. I hope to learn from members of the group and perhaps make a modest contribution form time-to-itme.

Good first try, Anne. You got the book cover right, but after the "by" you need to go to the Author link (next to the Book link) and add the photo, followed by the author's link. You don't need to add the https: link to the author's page.

Hi, my names is Joel and I am a New Jerseyite. I have always been fascinated with history and other works of non-fiction. I love the rich literary style of writers like Erik Larsen. In addition, I've always been very interested in Jewish history and culture. I read a great deal and often like to blog about it.

In addition to history, I am also drawn to works of philosophy. One of my favorites is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

Finally, I have a sustained interest in Alternative medicine and health.

This is Neotony. I am currently living near New York City after recently returning from several years each living in Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong. My time in the Far East gave me the opportunity to look at the organization of society and flow of life from different perspectives. One of my all-time favorite history books about China, To Change China, Western Advisers in China by Jonathan Spence is an example of the type of history book that allows me to continue my adventures. I look forward to participating in this group seeking more adventures.

Hello! I've technically been a GR member since 2015 but only recently (read: as of this week) have become active on the site. I'm based out of the US and love to read books on history/microhistory (interests vary from Latin American history, to WW2 history, to Roman history, etc.) and most recently I have been interested in British Victorian era history.

Currently, I'm looking to get my hands on a well-written, well-researched book on David Livingstone. If anyone has recommendations, it'd be much appreciated!
