I hope it’s ok to post this vanity -
I am headed on vacation and I want something to read that is not political, PC, preachy or self-help. I just want to read something that is well-written, light and interesting. I already read the Bible daily so this is in addition to that.
I don’t mind romance added in, but I prefer historical fiction. I don’t like historical fiction that has been edited to the point of being unrealistic or or with a liberal agenda. I don’t mind action, mystery or drama, but not a fan of murder mysteries or anything gory.
For the past year, I have read nothing but political news and message boards, informative books, self-help and inspirational, but I am looking for just a good story I can loose myself in and unplug for a while at the beach.
Ideas?
Pinging this link —you can download a boatload of books for free, in the event you wanted something electronic instead of paper.....
Anythng by MITCHENER. Listening to Poland now.
A lovely winter read.
Try any of Kenneth Roberts’s historical novels.
I thought you might have been a victim of autocorrect. I haven’t read The Peaceable Kingdom, but The Spiral Road was magnificent. Also enjoyed The Captain.
Robert Lewis Taylor has written some good and amusing historical fiction as well.
READ LATER
Undaunted Courage, by Stephen E. Ambrose, or any of his other historical books. Undaunted Courage is about the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
