When I was a history grad student, I focused on German cultural/religious 1914-1939 Larry Send a noteboard - 10/04/2014 03:35:30 AM

You seems to read a lot about it.

So in a sense, it's a revisiting of what I read/studied before I decided to drop out after my MA and become an English/Social Studies teacher.

Also what Tom said. If I had time, I'd also cover the 75th of the European theater of WWII, the 50th of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and the 25th of the 1989 revolutions. Maybe I'll cover 1-2 books from the last. In addition, I set up a WWI-themed blog that'll start having lots of articles (hoping for 2-4/week) on the literature/histories written both by the participants and by those of succeeding generations in the next few weeks.

Curious, why are you so interested in WWI? Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2014 07:52:31 PM 777 Views
I think it's because 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the war... Tom - 09/04/2014 08:08:19 PM 849 Views

On the contrary - they are one of the few things that still has some semi-decent activity. Legolas - 02/04/2014 07:12:53 PM 857 Views
