    I haven't seen any updates from you in 4 days, just wondering if you still are using this account. Seems kind of stagnant.

    Hi Dan - not sure if you ever got around to reading The Linguist and the Emperor but the discussion thread is now up in the Non-Fiction History group.

    Thanks for the friendship invite--always good to hear from a fellow alternate-history fan! Turtledove is certainly the best in the genre, although some of his stand alone novels tend to be a real letdown (ie, In the Presence of Mine Enemies, Cross Time Traffic, The Two Georges, etc). I do have high hopes for "The Man with the Iron Heart" and I am really looking forward to his War That Came Early series. In a similar vein, I would also recommend Douglas Niles and Micheal Dobson's "Fox" duology (Fox on the Rhine and Fox at the Front) as well their latest release 'MacArthur's War", all of which deal with the Second World War. Robert Conroy's books are good (if somewhat short on length); each book is titled after the year of a major event in real history, with the story detailing how events deviate from the historical record.

    Anyway, thanks again for the invite and feel free to drop me note anytime! Cheers!

    Dan - the book is great...not happy but well written and well researched. I have been alternating between rage and deep sorrow and I'm not even halfway through. You have to read this.

    Hi Dan. Just thought you'd like to know that, in addition to the paperback and hardcover versions, my book "Weeds Like Us" is now available on KINDLE at www.amazon.com. It's also available on SONY READER. Other e-versions are coming soon! Best wishes, Gunter

    I know what you mean...I'm buried under books that I'm reading for one group or another. It's starting to feel like college. :-)

    Hi Dan - I was wondering if you'd gotten the book The Forsaken yet? I remembered you were interested in that one. I was hoping it would get some votes for the quarterly group read but it's not looking like it will. I'm going have to get it and read it on my own.
