Currently reading The River Between Us.......it's pretty good so far. It's historical fiction.

I have finished reading TTT and will start on RotK. Now I see why people are so mad that Faramir was incorrectly portrayed in the movies! Plus, a lot of things that were in TTT were put in the RotK movie. I guess there just wasn't enough things in the RotK book so they had to take some things out from TTT to add to RotK.

I've also read two books of historical fiction - one of the Celtic Revolution in Ireland and the other about the royal family of France.

Wow Elberethsq your already done with TTT!!!!!! I'm still at the begining at TTT!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

YAY!!!!! Someone else reads historical fiction besides me!!!!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm reading 'Children of England' by Alison Weir. It's a biography of the lesser known Tudor monarchs - Edward VI, Mary I (Bloody Mary) and Jane Grey.

I don't read novels very often (actually the last novel I read was LotR). I am a rather sad person who likes history books.

AWESOME set by the AMAZING Lembas!!!

Yes, I generally like historical fiction, most of the times, because it's nice to learn about things while you read. I've read historical fiction about the royal family of England - about King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine of Aragon and Queen Mary.

Now I've finished Book 6 of RotK. Now I have to read the Appendixes.

i'm reading dragon keeper

And now I'm reading "The Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene. It's about complex physics and string theory, and how the universe might have been created, and about quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity.

The book is about two inches thick and so far I have read about a few milimeters-thick of it.

Well here I'll type out the summary of the book. I must warn you though its historical fiction. I personally love historical fiction but ya know thats just me.


The River Between Us
This historical novel set at the beginning of the Civil War actually opens in 1916, as 15-year-old Howard Leland Hutchings recounts his trip in a Model T to visit his father's childhood home in Grand Tower, IL. When he and his younger brothers meet the four elderly people who raised their father, the novel shifts to 1861, and the narrator shifts to 15-year-old Tilly Pruitt, the boys' grandmother. When a steamboat from New Orleans brings two mysterious young ladies, Mama offers them room and board, and the Pruitts' lives are forever changed. Fair and beautiful Delphine Duval, with her fancy dresses and high-society ways, fascinates the family. And what of Calinda, the darker-skinned young woman? Could she be Delphine's slave? On the eve of his 16th birthday, Tilly's twin brother, Noah, leaves to join the Union troops at Camp Defiance and Mama, distraught, sends Tilly and Delphine to bring him home. It is here that Tilly learns of Delphine's heritage. She is a quadroon, part of the colored family of a rich white man. Her mother sent her daughters away from New Orleans, hoping Delphine can pass for white. The novel ends with a return to 1916 and Howard's finding out his father's true parentage. In this thoroughly researched novel, Peck masterfully describes the female Civil War experience, the subtle and not-too-subtle ways the country was changing, and the split in loyalty that separated towns and even families. Although the book deals with some weighty themes, it is not without humor.
