I find that not too many people are interested in what we are interested in. History is so facinating. When I was your age, I read poetry, art, and sci-fi.
Now I am interested in a subject I could't pass in school!
Hello Paul, yes i know history is unentertaining to some. I don't really find anybody my age to disccss history with. That why I created the group, in the hope that history lovers join. I wanted to have a relaxed atmosphere but with some basic structure for the group. My ambition is to have a great library filled with military and history books. I am slowly working my way to that goal.

I spend too much time at Barnes and Noble. I almost live in the military section. Picking out a book is hard for me. I like one book then I see another interesting title and so on. I also shop on Amazon.com . I prefer hardcover also becase they last longer and look professional in a library.

I love buying used books from amazon. I kill time by browsing through the book online. The book on Hitler I bought in Barnes and Noble but they only had paperback available. Have you read Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler? I wanted to read it to get an idea of Hitler's mind-set.
When I'm off island (I live on an island) I enjoy exploring used book stores. I like to order new books from our local bookstores on the island (keep it local) and I find a lot of out of print and used books from Abebooks.com

I'd also like a thread on the battles during The Pacific War campaign, both land and sea. There are some great ones like Midway, Peleliu, the Solomon Island, Leyte Gulf, Saipan, Iwo Jima, etc.
