Book/reading thread chats

[Chalmers' Division]

Is there a yearly adopted book/reading list?

When are book titles released for members to join in the threads?

I was just curious.

There is a thread aroud here somewhere that discusses books, recent and old favs, but I am not sure how to find it.

Check under "ACW Books & Movies" (FORUMS): there are many threads. Also there is a long-going thread "[What American Civil War Books Are You Planning On Buying/Reading Next?" under the Wars of Rebellion forum. Also, at various times posters have asked for recommendations on a specific topic, for input on a specific book or have made comments about a particular book that have been commented upon.

There's a thread called something to the effect of "What are you planning to read next." I was tickled when someone who didn't realize I hang out here wrote that they had MY book on their TBR pile. (Any time you want to chat about Civil War prisons, I'm in!) You are also welcome to put up a post yourself, if there's a book you'd like to discuss.

@Chalmers' Division I know there is a reading list of favorite books on the site. It may be this thread here;

Civil War Books, Stories, & Media

In general, Non-Fiction or NF refers to Factual Stories focused on actual events and people. Historical Fiction or HF refers to any book or movie that has a historical plot, a setting, or characters that are created from the authors imagination.

I think @CivilWarTalk can help you further.

Has there been any thoughts about several members reading a book at the same time and discussing the book via the forum as they read it? A good typic for a book would be one about the Battle of Stones River, which is where the next CivilWarTalk muster will take place. This could have the side effect of encouraging additional people to attend the muster.

Many of us have read the same book at different times; there are literary "autopsies" done after the fact which I have found to be quite interesting.
