I am quite an eclectic reader and love to discuss what I read. I am 35 years old w/ 2 children and married for 13 years. Please check out my shelf and tell me if you have read any of the books I have read or that I plan to read.

    Great! You'll enjoy both, even if you're just casually interested in history. I particularly enjoyed the book about John Adams because his life is examined from a pro-liberty point of view. I bought the 1812 book mainly because I'm from Ohio where everything, including the county I grew up in, is named for Commodore Perry, plus I now live near Baltimore, where Ft. McHenry is. The book turned out to be better than I expected.

    Hello, bookworm_sub! You and I have both recently read '1812, the War that Forged a Nation' and 'John Adams and the Spirit of Liberty'. It looks like your interests are pretty wide.

    Hi,

    I've listed three nominations in the "Voting Booth" discussion section.

    If I did so correctly, you should see the following:

    The Picture of Dorian Gray
    The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
    Under the Skin

    Thanks,

    D

    Ok! If I remember correctly, I should give three suggestions to offer up for a vote?

    I joined the group. :) I actually have all of Jane Austen's books already, so I'm good. February 1st sounds great! :) I have an iphone that downloads kindle books also, but I have all of Austen's books. Looking forward to it!

    Persausion is one I have been wanting to read! I haven't read Captains Courageous either. I am open to anything on the website too. I chose last time-you can choose. :) Since you're reading American Lion, that'll give me time to locate a copy of whatever you choose. (I live in the country with limited library.) :)

    I checked out the American Lion, but I don't think I can do it. :( I tried and I'm just not into it. Do you want to try another classic after American Lion?

    I'm close to being finished. I completely agree with you about the first chapter and wordy in some places. It tends to drag on sometimes. I'll be finished today or tomorrow.

    I have it on audio too, but I live three miles from work. I don't always get time to listen. Enjoy it!

    I'm an attorney and author with two kids and a 33 year old marriage. (Don't me ask me how that last statistic happened. My husband and I are both trying to figure it out.)
    I would definitely characterize my reading choices as eclectic, but with emphasis on mysteries. Lately I've been reading Deborah Crombie, probably because her mysteries occur in England, and, since I live in Phoenix, Arizona, reading about cold places is a major form of escapism.

    The author is Randall Garrett and the series is the Gandalara cycle.

    ThankS A LOT.... It is THe BOOK. I was frustrated tryin to remember the name of the author and book. I had purchased it in Mumbai (INDIA) on footpath. We have a arrangment with the booksellers by which we take one book, read it and return it to the seller. Either we take another book or he returns some amount frm the original price. Sadly the street book bazar at Churchgate area is no more. Nowadays we can see booksellers only on sundays... But now I am going to find the series and read it. Thanks again...

    Hi! I noticed your post on American Politics from a few months back asking if there is anyone who would like to read and discuss the books you listed. Have you had any offers?
