back to Readable History main page 2008-2009 Booklist from the Readable History Bookclub This is a list of the books we have read in our bookclub meetings in Idaho and Texas. In most cases I've made a few comments based on my opinion , and in some cases I have added a link to follow-up work done in preparation for the bookclub meeting. The latter are mostly maps that I made for myself to help understand the flow of the book. NOTE:BOLD titles are links to comments on the book. |
