The History Book Club discussion

Hi guys, my name is Andrea, and I'm from Tampa, Florida. I'm a pretty big history nerd, so I was stoked to find this book club. I have a BA in History from Florida State, and I am about to enter my first year of teaching middle school history. I always find it hard to choose the parts of history that interest me the most. If I had to whittle it down to my Top 3, they would most likely be the American Revolution, World War II, and the 1960's (the Civil Rights Movement, the Space Race, the Vietnam War -- so many influential things happening in one decade). When it comes down to it, I love any part of history that challenges my perspective of the world. And I love a good revolution!

Welcome Andrea!

Hi everyone, my name is Jordan and I'm from Devon in England, I'm currently doing a BA in Sociology.

I was never that interested in history (or any subject, really!) at school but since I started university 2 years ago I have started regularly reading books for the first time in my life. In doing so, I have found myself particularly drawn towards books on history and other non-fiction books.

I look forward to getting to know this group and its members :)

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).

Welcome, Jordan! You’ll enjoy this club. And I agree with your comment.
Regards,
Andrea

My name is Jordan Jones. I am originally from California, but have also lived in Texas, Virginia, France, North Carolina, and now New Mexico.

I have a BA in English with a minor in philosophy from Calif. State U. Northridge and an MA in English (Creative Writing) from UC Davis.

From an early age, I was fascinated with history. In addition to a general interest in history, I have a specific interest in family history and genealogy, which I have been researching since the age of 9.

I see family history as "history at ground level." While the history of kings, princes, and presidents is compelling, there's a lot to be learned about life as it is lived from studying people who may not have been powerful or celebrated in their time.

Welcome Jordan, we are happy that you have joined us in the History Book Club from New Mexico. Thank you for your interesting introduction. We look forward to your participation.

Hi, I’m Casey Robb, a life-long history buff. I’ve lived in Texas, Mexico, Arizona, and Northern California. My degrees include Psychology, Physical Therapy, and Civil Engineering. I am now retired, and an older single mom due to adopting late in life, and I’m hoping my teenagers catch the history bug like I did from my own mom in my youth. In my traveling days (before kids), I visited a lot of historical sites in Mexico, Central America, the Soviet Union (1979), Europe, England, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, and Greece. I am now happy to be an armchair traveler.

My interests include everything, but my top choices would be:
World War II (it’s personal -- my dad was in Patton’s Army and his cousin was a survivor of the Bataan Death March); Ancient History (e.g. Alexander the Great); American History (a new interest); and the History of Medicine and Diseases.

Thanks for being there – I finally found my people, my tribe!

Welcome Casey, we are happy that you have joined us in the History Book Club, and especially happy that you have found "your tribe." Thank you for your most interesting introduction and outlining your extensive travels and current interests in history.

Hello,

My name is Alexandra Dawson and I currently live in the UK. I am English, however I am also a Canadian citizen. I have recently graduated with a 1st class degree in Biological Sciences and I am going to be studying a PGCE in Biology from September to become a secondary school science teacher.

I adore learning about the history of cultures different to my own for example reading about the many dynasties of china. I also love Greek and Roman history as well as the middle ages. I think history is of vital importance as it lead us to where we are today and can give us a greater understanding of why cultures exsit in the forms they do and how they are always changing.

I look forward to meeting fellow history lovers on here and discussing the books.

Welcome, both Alexandra and Shelley!. You’ll both enjoy this club, though perhaps for different reasons. May I recommend that you join one of the many group reads? I’ve particularly enjoyed Rick Atkinson’s book, Eric Larson’s book, and John M. Barry’s book.
Regards,
Andrea

Hi All,

My name is Gail. I am a senior at Columbia University in NY and a Native New Yorker, studying English Literature and History. I am part of the graduating class of 2020--what a year it has been.

Currently reading David McCullough's book 1776. Endeavoring next to read Lincoln on the Verge by Ted Widmer.

Happy to join a group with those who love history as much as I do.

Cheers!

Welcome Gail, my niece is at Columbia; but a Freshman - and this has been such a disappointing year for her having to moving off campus.

You are so right - what a year it has been! I have said on other threads that it has been the year of the pandemic, impeachment, killer hornets, the air force admitting that the UFO videos of the Navy pilots and Air Force have some merit, shelter in places, the year of the mask and bottles of hand sanitizer all over the house and vehicle, students being home schooled with virtual learning for everyone else and of course - your Senior year as of March or April became an on line set of courses.

So sorry that this has happened to you Gail and others.

The above are the books you mentioned and that is how we add citations so that the powerful Goodreads software can link all of the citations to the books and authors themselves with clickable urls and if you look to the white space on the right hand side of the page as you will see on each and every thread on the site - all of the books and authors are mentioned on each thread if the citations are added.

One of my assisting moderators will be along shortly to officially welcome you with some helpful threads to get you started.

Glad to have you with us and I wish you the very best - for your bound to be - wonderful - future.

Regards,
Bentley

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:
