Thanks, @John O -!

Hello! Glad to be here 📚

You guys still talking books?

@Michael - FL What are you interested in?

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. These are my 23 sins

Get out @Kingfish

@Kingfish this dude can't read, idk what he wants here

HAHAHAHAHA @John O -

Is this channel dead, or does anyone want to read a book together?

Currently reading "The Republic for Which It Stands: The United States during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, 1865-1896" by Richard White

@Nemets I think it'll pick back up when the school year picks up. This is also a great server for promoting the Guardian's program

Does anyone know what I can read on the US history? Something that can give me a good overview since I'd be starting with very basic knowledge (a foreigner here, don't judge).

@Nota Bene - NY which era?

@Nemets Hmm, all of them from the beginning? My knowledge is really rudimentary. Just need basic facts, with some analysis, what happened when and why.

@Nota Bene - NY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States

wish there was a good book that summarized the entire history, but just too broad

Good ol' Wikipedia! Thank you, Nemets.

@Nemets It can't be Chapaev on your avatar. But that's who comes to mind.

@Nota Bene - NY Pyotr Vrangel

Of course.

just to let everyone know that Barnes and noble is going out of business soon they have beautiful leather bounded books for sale Too for 35 dollars

@Nota Bene - NY вы русский?

Я русская

Barnes and Noble is going out of business??

Я редко встречаю людей, которые знают Чапаева

yes @Nota Bene - NY after this Christmas they are probably going to close up shop

Не то чтобы знаю. А вы русский?

I saw this happen to borders 10 years ago

That's crazy. I guess it's not that surprising. I should swing by a store, see if they have good sales.

Нет, я немец

yes do

I love leather bound books
