I teach 8th grade American History at Hershey Middle School in Pennsylvania. I love to read, in fact I am always in the middle of reading two or three books. I like to read historical non-fiction, Cormac McCarthy novels, and books that will help me be a better teacher.

    So, Tom and I were trying to decide on an audio book that we could agree on for our long drive to PSU yesterday. "Historical Fiction is a compromise, Tom," I said. I had in my mind, Book Thief, Milkweed, etc., but he wanted a historical fiction based on the Civil War. The only one I ever read that was fantastic was MARCH by Geraldine Brooks and I couldn't think of any others that were even about it! Can you? Do you have any suggestions? Does Erik Fire?

    Hey Mr. Tweetzel! Guess what? I'm actually thinking about getting a Twitter account. Mrs. Owens said it would be good because authors use it and I can ask them questions on there.
    Oh, you know what I'm also thinking about? Making a pingpong club. If I have time. Me and Tyler were thinking about it.

    Through some diabolical glitch at Shelfari I ended up with TWO accounts and could only sign in to the newly created one. So I've had to transfer all of my books and, more or less, start from scratch. In the process I've also lost all of my "friends" and "followers". I've tried to get Shelfari to correct the situation to no avail. They keep referring me to Amazon and the Amazon "help" people claim never to have heard of Shelfari. Hope you'll continue to "follow" me at my new location. Gunter

    Art- I like your shelf. I am a big Cormac McCarthy freak too. No Country...Blood Meridian. I like to be a pest and look at someones Plan To Read shelf and nudge them in the direction of one I see that that I know and love. On yours I suggest the John Irving one. Two other favorites of mine by him are A Widow for One Year and Hotel New Hampshire. thank you for listening... -Julie

    A book that you might like that I am planning to read in a little while because its by one of my favorite authors is Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen. It's historical fiction and Gary Paulsen is a pretty awesome author, although I've never read historical fiction by him before. Check it out, though.

    Thanks, Mr. T. I think I'll look into it, maybe I'll get one next year for Christmas. I too like just regular old books, but people who have ebooks say that they are really nice. If I get one, though, I might want to get one like yours so I have more than just books that I can get as books. The one that you have you are getting more out of because it has internet and magazines. It definitely sounds like its cheaper price wise compared to buying books, and if you look at my shelf you can see I have ALOT of books I plan to read. It would probably be easier just to get them on the ebook than buying all of them, depending on how many are in the library. Plus, the ebook just kind of looks cool. :)

    Do you think that its more for reading magazines and newspapers or for books? Is that what you were talking about with the e-ink that only comes with the normal nook?

    I was actually going to start looking into ebooks. How is the Nook, quality wise? I'm reading Fever right now, and its taking me a while because I keep on putting it down when it gets to the disturbing symptoms. I need to learn how to do that in writing, make it so detailed that you can just picture something that grossly in your head that it makes you go "ewww". It would be helpful for the creepy story i'm writing. Tyler already has it down, making things gross like that. I'll just need to work on it! So let me know about the Nook!

    I just saw on the sign in page on shelfari that The Inner Circle is a new york times best seller. Must be pretty good!

    I sort of forgot to remind you and Miss Clouser about the video of pingpong thing, so we can just pick a day on monday to stay after school and take pictures of Miss Clouser beating you again. haha :)

    Glad I told you about the Inner Circle, Mr. T? I thought it looked like something you might read, and it was talking about George Washington's precidents, so when you read it let me know how it goes!

    Hi!
    "STRETCH: Coming of Age in Post-War Germany", the sequel to my first book "Weeds Like Us" has just been published! You can find details on my website:www.weedslikeus.com as well as on amazon.com and bn.com. Happy reading! (Oh, by the way, barring the unforeseen, a German-language version of my first book "Weeds Like Us" will be published in Hamburg in Spring 2011.) Best holiday wishes! Gunter

    Hi Art - Welcome to the History Non-Fiction Group. Please take a moment (if you haven't already done so) and introduce yourself in our "Welcome and Introduction" thread and told us what your interests are. We are currently reading King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild - we'd love it if you joined us! Discussion will begin in mid-December. Because the votes were so high for the two runners up, some folks are also reading Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens by Jane Dunn and Four Musketeers: The True Story of d'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis and Athos by K.L. Maund - discussions for these will most likely be posted in November. Again, glad to have you with us.

    Oh, another one that I read was Steal Away. close to steal away home, but different books. Another great book about a white girl and a black girl, the white girl trying to help get the black one to freedom. By the way, all of these books: steal away, steal away home, and freedom crossing are on the easy side, more for a younger audience. I read them in fifth and sixth grade I think. They are still great reads for anyone, though.

    Yeah, I'm into all kinds of books. I love sci-fi, I enjoy comedy, historical fiction, fantasy, thriller, adventurous, and survival. They all interest me in different ways. My brother got me into sci-fi because he owns most of the best ones, like ones that have won newberry medals and other awards and have been rated well.
