1. Worldwar and Colonization was a stroke of genius

[madinmaryland]

2. For me its either that or the Southern Victory series.

:hi:

3. I can't recall the name right now

but I read the one about the Spanish Armada succeeding in conquering England. In it Shakespeare is a main character who leads a rebellion..I liked it...:)

4. haha, that's awsome

I read the one that takes place during World war 1, only it's a continuation of the civil war with the germans on the side of the north and the brits and french with the south. i especially love Custer's rants about how pershing gets the good front in the east while he's stuck fighting in kansas. :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

5. That's the Southern Victory.

Custer did have some pretty funny rants. Interesting what-ifs, such as the Socialist becoming a stronger party than the Democrats, and the Repubs were comparable to today's Dems.

7. I've only read "Guns of the South"

It was a ripping yarn. I like the way he sees everything from the point of view of the 1860s people, like their being bewildered at the PC's they find. I plan to read more of his stuff; I like alternate history stories.

13. My favorite, too.

Years later, you might lump it in with the Southern victory stuff, but it's a different timeline. How Few Remain is also really good, mostly for the portrait of the elderly (and radical communist) Lincoln.

9. Lizards vs The Big Uglies.

Just finishing up the second trilogy this week.

[madinmaryland]

10. Ahhh yes, the Big Uglies!!1!!

And the ginger addicted lizards!! :rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

[Pakhet]

12. Household Gods - n/t

[madinmaryland]

14. That was an interesting one too!

15. 'Every Inch a King'

http://www.amazon.com/Every-Inch-King-Harry-Turtledove/dp/0345487362/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206732395&sr=8-1

Fantastical historian Turtledove puts a merry spin on the true tale of circus clown Otto Witte, who enjoyed a brief and glorious reign over Albania in 1913 thanks to a case of mistaken identity and the help of sword-swallower Max Schlepsig. Here, Turtledove reimagines Albania as Shqiperi, Otto Witte as Otto of Schlepsig, Max Schlepsig as Max of Witte, and disguises various other people and places in more (Ottoman Empire: Hassocki Empire) and less (Macedonia: Fyrom) obvious ways, while the seas are populated with serpents, and turn-of-the-20th-century technology is replaced by wizards. Masquerading as Prince Halim Eddin, Otto bullies and bluffs his way with Max across the continent in fine style. They enjoy the many pleasures of the Shqiperi palace, plundering its harem and treasury before making good their escape. Fictionalized reality requires top-notch style to balance the lack of suspense, and while Turtledove provides credible wordplay and commentary, he's no Terry Pratchett. Nonetheless, this stand-alone novel is a fun romp through an undeservedly obscure moment in history.'

18. That one was loads of fun.

Worth every penny, given the amount of laughs it provided.

16. I like to vote!

I like fantasy and sci-fi, but I dunno this author/series.

Na ja...

[BreweryYardRat]

17. Videssos, some of his one-shots/short series, and his historical fiction as H.N. Turteltaub.

Oddly, I didn't like the initial Videssos cycle, but everything else there has been great.

[Iggo]

19. I didn't know that was him.

Yay, I'm still learning!
