I just wanted to gauge interest in a discussion group for Historical Fiction novels or series.

I tend to read that genre all the time and it would be nice to get others input on them.

Should I just start a thread on each book or do something like the ECB threads?

Thanks

Start a thread for each book. It's not like this board has too much activity to handle it.

I would be interested, though I have a lot of outstanding books on my plate.

What would be a good example of this, "an instance of the fingerpost?"

I am a fan of Jeff Shaara. I just finished Rise to Rebellion, and am now reading The Glorious Cause. They are novels of the American Revolution.

Centennial is amazing if you love the region (Colorado).

I want to read Texas and Space.

The Source was reccommended to me on here years ago and it was a great way to tell a story.

If I ever write a book thia author will be a huge influence.

Herman Wouk has some great ones in this genre...Winds of War/War and Remembrance series some of my favorites ever if you are into WWII

Eta: and if you like those, The Hope goes into the creation of the State of Israel

Would LOVE to do a group read/discussion of Winds of War and then W&R on here if anyone is interested.
I started a thread on here a few weeks back asking about them and went ahead and bought both books.
I haven't started yet as I am currently reading Undaunted Courage about Louis and Clark, but would be game if we want to make it a thing.

I'm thinking of starting the HFBC off with a reading of the Flashman Papers.
