Would anyone be interested in doing a group read? It would have to be a book that we all most likely own or is easily available at a reasonable price internationally. I am open to suggestions and if there would be enough interest.

Basically as little or as much as a group wants to put into it. I've been on group reads that went chapter by chapter which might be to structured for this group and ones where everyone just discusses the entire book. Since we are discussing history there isn't exactly spoilers so we don't have to worry about spoiling the ending after all. The point is to have a common source for discussion. For example we could discuss the problems with some of the book made for mass market reading (Philbrick, and others) or older sources with something like Godfrey's Battle Diary (Kindle apps are free). There are all sorts of option and it doesn't have to be limited to Little Bighorn though I think it would be preferable if it was about a person or event covering from the American Civil War to the end of the Centennial campaign but I am always open to a good read about an interesting subject. On the subject of books--has anyone read this? William Tecumseh Sherman: In the Service of My Country: A Life |
