    Eric Larson and David McCullough write the best historical books I have ever read about Americans. There a so many about famous people by different authors as well that I enjoy.

    I hate any book that is trashy. Right now, I am reading a historical novel about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

    After years of never finding a copy to replace my damaged one, I've found it anew!

    In the late 70s early 80s, Robin Cook was the author I preferred to read.

    Searching online today, while watching the films trilogy of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser, I've found at https://www.waterstones.com/book/sphinx/robin-cook/9780230765580

    Sphinx by Robin Cook and while we're in the store we'll probably get his book Pandemic. Now, as it's Robin Cook, it'll be good reading. Later!

    Caitlin, I've always loved history even in grade school. I never went back much further than ancient scholars, Like Cecero, Cesar, Norse and Viking and some on Middle East, Gar East up to American history. I have forgotten some of it.

    Has anyone here read anything by Graham Greene? Until he died, he was credited with being the best living author in the English language. He wrote everything--fiction (novels and entertainments), non-fiction (mostly travel guides and his autobiography) as well as scene plays and TV scripts.

    "A day without learning, is a day lost..." Quote from my beloved Papa.

    Just try to read about these people on Wikipedia and more. It helps to keep it afore in your mind. Cheers!

    PS I'm a huge history buff. I've done tons of research for my historical, paranormal romance series ehehe.
