    I'm posting this note to those who voted to read either Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens or The Four Musketeers during our voting session. As you know, I offered up the option to read these instead of (or in addition to) King Leopold's Ghost as the votes for all three were very close with KLG beating the other two by only one vote. If you've read either of the alternates, the discussions threads for both books is now up on the History Non-Fiction Group discussion page. If you haven't read them yet, I have to say that I would not have chosen either book on my own but read them both in case the alternate books were chosen and I am very glad I did. They were both wonderfully written and informative. Discussion for King Leopold's Ghost will be posted mid-December to avoid the Christmas rush.

    The History Non-Fiction Group is set to read The Linguist and the Emperor: Napoleon and Champollion's Quest to Decipher the Rosetta Stone by Daniel Meyerson for the Jul-Sep quarter. This book discusses the two men whose lives intersected over a love of all things Egypt and led to Campollion solving the mystery of the language on the Rosetta Stone. The book is fairly short - only 271 pages including the Author's Note at the end - and easy to read so it's a good book for the first ever quarterly read. Please join us if you're interested.
