Thanks for your kind words Tom and sorry for the delay. I haven't checked this account in a while. Yes I have been interested in Classical Antiquity from a very early age. Byzantium is somewhat new to me though, and I'm just trying to full up that lacuna.
It's a queasy feeling you get when there's something out there you don't know!
Ehrman's actually isn't writing anything new. Most of this stuff has been known for some time now but only within academic circles. Ehrman just made the information more accessible to the general public. There has been lively debate on Ehrman from both sides and I must say both sides have some very valid points. William Lane Craig is an apologist from the Christian side who is absolutely brilliant. I am impressed with his arguments.
After almost three decades I'm dipping my feet into the historical fiction genre. Bernard Cornwell has written a series of novels on Anglo-Saxon Britain and I'm exploring them now.
Look forward to adding your book to the list!

All the best for now Tom

Indeed Tom! That's really high praise from someone I envy for his book-learning and erudition!
I must say your collection of books about German history is something I'm going to be referring back to consistently.
I totally hear you about the moving part. May God save me from such an experience as well.

All the best for now
Imad

Just a short note (and my only one, I promise) that I've launched my website at www.michellehoover.net. I've also created a page called Michelle Hoover's The Quickening on Facebook. If you're interested in further updates about the book, you can check out the site or join the page. You can also look at my Librarything author page for more info. In any case, I hope you're well and happy reading. And if you have similar news, let me know.

Cheers,
Michelle

Just a reminder! One week from today, on February 1, 2010, we will begin our Missouri Readers discussion of “The Moonflower Vine” by Jetta Carleton. We’ve started a thread, but try to avoid spoilers until next week!

Thanks Tom. I'm waiting to get a few more members before we really get going on the discussions, though you should feel free to start anytime if you wish.

I was glad to see that you decided to join the Missouri readers group. We're not a big group, but we've really enjoyed some good books together.

I wouldn't have chosen a single one of our books on my own - all have been outside of my normal zone - but every one of them has been good. It helps to have others to talk through the difficult parts. In December, we're planning to read "The Death of Sweet Mister" by Daniel Woodrell, who lives in West Plains, MO (east of Branson). We've read him once before and all thought that book was excellent, so we're really looking forward to this one. I think we're hoping for a discussion in the last week of December, so there is plenty of time to get the book and get it read. I hope you'll join us.

No Problem Tom, actually it seems that there are eight books I share with you that now have covers online. You seem to have a nice library about WWII, I look forward to browsing it when I get a chance.
Best regards,
Paul

Hi, I have uploaded a cover for Patton's best: An informal history of the 4th Armored Division by Nat Frankel, if you would like to use it.
Cheers!
Paul.
