I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to read for this, which is odd as I don't typically read historical. And what's even more frustrating is that there's little agreement about what's historical, and what's not. Darn Google

'Hunchback'

@GraveRobber, a general rule of thumb we use in libraries is 50 years in the past, but we won't get too technical.

My problem right now is too many to choose from. Not a problem I thought I'd have with historical

I'm currently leaning towards either The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff, or Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton.

That could always change though

Pirate Latitudes looks like fun. I've been reading so many HF dealing with Europe, I thought a change would be good; so I loaded my Nook with a novel about the South Seas Islands. Samoa-A Historical Novel by J. Robert Shaffer. I can't recommend it as I don't know anything about the author nor this book - another shot in the dark.

Is this still open for voting? And if so, how do you vote? Sorry for a dumb question but I'm really new to this forum (and to participating in forums in general). Thanks!

This poll is now closed but the poll for December will appear next month

I'm feeling {Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen} as I was just saying the other day.. "I don't feel like I have read enough of the classics." No time like the Present.

I am in love with historical fiction. Especially based in the 1800s. It is by far my favorite time period to read fiction in.
