HISTORICAL FICTION POLL "B"
There will be a series of polls to begin putting together a potential reading list for the "historical fiction folder". I have divided the books into groups of 15 books apiece. Make sure to choose your favorite from each poll and make sure to vote in each of these polls so that we can generate a list according to priorities and interests. You will only receive one notification per poll. There will be simultaneous polls so please make sure to vote in each one.

Half of the books on this list are among my all time favorites so I can't and won't vote for just one here...
All Renaults, Pressfields, the Sutcliff, Gedge, Breem, they are all masterpieces, as are most of the others.

Susanna...this is the write-up:
Originally published in 1883, Life on the Mississippi is Mark Twain's memoir of his youthful years as a cub pilot on a steamboat paddling up and down the Mississippi River. Twain used his childhood experiences growing up along the Mississippi in a number of works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but nowhere is the river and the pilot's life more thoroughly described than in this work. Told with insight, humor, and candor, Life on the Mississippi is an American classic.
This was also a group member recommendation...many feel it is a memoir which is a combination of both childhood experiences and fiction. It is probably one of those that folks have differences of opinion.

Andre...we have to prioritize so please choose one. Many of these are your recommendations and like it or not..we cannot read all of them so we have to make a prioritized list. I am sure that since you have read all of them...that you could choose one which stands out from all of the rest as one we should not miss. Otherwise, it may get lost in the shuffle and receive no vote at all. That would be a shame. It was difficult when I had to vote on my list because I loved certain books for some reasons and others for different ones. But I still braced myself and voted. (smile)

Also, always check out the "this poll is about" section. It is really easy to get more information about each book and author in this section.
All you have to do in this section is click on the author's name and/or the book cover and you can read information on each book before voting.
All of these books have been recommended and nominated by group members.
In each poll, please vote for "one" selection.
Thank you.
