MobileRead Book Challenges discussion

My reading challenge for this year is to read books dealing with The Civil War and Biographies of American Indians. I have always wanted to know more about each subject and this is the year that I am going to do it.

Good Luck & Enjoy! :)

Civil War Books Read:

Thanks, Nyssa. On MR I have the 150 books read, which will supplement my non-fiction reading this year.

American Indian Biographies Read:

GERONIMO

Would you like me to delete my previous post so that you can have the 2nd spot reserved? Didn't mean to mess up your flow, there.

That won't be necessary. :)

I didn't realize that there were so many books addressing these topics. I have already got a TBR that should last me most of the year. Yeah!!!

If you're in need of a framework for your reading on Native Americans, I recommend checking out Carl Waldman. Some of his stuff is out of print but still available for sale. I have his Atlas of the North American Indian, Revised Edition.

Thanks, Christa. I will keep that in mind and add the author to my list.

I completed my first Civil War book yesterday. These books are pretty long (956) pages, so I won't read a large number. But, I learned something.
