Acerca de míI'm a senior history major in college, and I'm known for my addiction to books. Even if I arrive at the beginning of the school year with none, I assure you by the end of even a single semester, my desk and the floor will be covered in books. Back home, I'm actually running out of space to put them! But mind you, I don't just buy any books for the sake of buying them. No, I read all the books I buy, although it is hard to keep up with my spending. And my philosophy towards books is, "read what satisfies your interests, and do not cast away your curiosity in favor of a "must-read". One mustn't limit oneself to what one's "told" to read, as the field of literature is boundless!

I also see we share a Nelson book. Get to know him. I worked at the Dockyard Library and Museum in Antigua where he was for a year or so between wars. Facinating guy. There were of course a lot of books about him and the period.
Are you planning to teach history ?
Yes, if you have time read the book about the Paris Terror. I have just read Salisbury book about the Russian Revolution and they seem to go together, showing how after one revolution others follow with terror in between. To some extent this seems to be happening in Africa.

Good luck with moving out into the world from college.

I just read the Pulitizer winning biography of Lindberg, now over 10 years ago, and at a garage sale yesterday found his wartime journals...1938-1945, then by using Library thing realized I had his wife's journals of the same period and could locate them in "Box 19"...the way I have my collection stored in a less than dry basement. Librarything is really getting it all together.
Thanks for your invitation to join the History Fans group. I've done so.
Poke away. I did my MA at UVA a few years ago and got into the TJ mania there. I'm currently working on a project on TJ's design of the Academical Village, though it's on the backburner now as I work on my dissertation. Hopefully I'll be able to publish it in the next year or two.
On another note, based on titles, we seem to share an interest in Jefferson and Mozart. Something about the Enlightenment period still captures my imagination, despite the reams of criticism of it in the past couple decades.
Ah, now it makes sense. Oscar Wilde popped into my head when I saw the book's title, but I wasn't sure. Hopefully these days he'd be a little less furtive about such things.
