The Shawnees and the War for America by Colin G. Calloway. I've already learned a few things. For example, I didn't know that what we call the French and Indian War in the US was essentially the North American theater of the Seven Years' War in Europe.

Tefazipipo... that's someone I don't see around a lot!
(oops, for the time-delay of one month...)
Read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." (Solzhenitsyn)
Currently reading:
"The Whole Christ: Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance-- Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters," which is amazing and
"Crucial Questions about Hell" by Ajith Fernando.
Reading is goin' slowly around here for me.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Oooh, which sub-forum?Tefazipipo wrote:Well, I hadn't been by in a while. Then the Watch sent me a notice that there'd been new messages in a thread I was following...

I love the ability to watch a thread...
would have saved me from times of feeling silly because I'd started a topic I cared about and then somebody wrote a thoughtful response 4 months later...
but I didn't notice it until much later still.

I don't know! It may even have been this! And I started a thread about the Highlander 30th Anniversary Convention, to which I am going and it's December 3rd and 4th.

I recently read a Gay Fantasy Romance titled The God Eaters, by Jesse Hajicek. While I have certain issues with it involving the situation for female characters, it is well-written, an engaging story and I really felt for the heroes and loved their character development. Plus there's a scene late in the book where someone turns a train into a projectile weapon. It's great.

Can't have been this thread, otherwise you would have had far more messages.
I'm reading The People Of The Sky by Walton Golightly... turns out it's actually book 3 of a trilogy though, although they don't strictly follow on from each other.
Semi-historical fiction set in the Zulu Empire in the 1820's. Could be interesting, but sadly not that well written so far.
