Hi I'm Hilary and I majored in English and History at Texas A&M University. I find reading very relaxing and I like to curl up with a good book when I am bored. I am the proud mommy of a beautiful baby boy and hope that one day he loves reading as much as I do.

    Mark Twain is probably one of the best,if not the best that America has produced. His books still catches the imagination even to this day speaks highly about the author.It's great that you got a research opportunity on such a great author. so what's the topic of research??

    Excellent. I read Loving's book and found it very insightful. He is very opinionated and is not afraid to put his views on the line, but I had a hard time disagreeing with what he said. I bet he's an interesting prof.

    I see you just added that title on the history of Nazi Germany. Aside from the classic Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, I can also recommend reading Why Hitler Came to Power and The Nazi Seizure of Power. These are all helpful in understanding one of the most infamous periods of twentieth-century history, I think.

    Hi, I saw that you are reading Jerome Loving's new book on Mark Twain. I've ordered it but was wondering if it is any good? Loving's usually pretty good. Thanks!

    Hillary, I am in Texas too although a lot older. Yes definitely read THE HELP. It will give you a great insight into the relationship between Blacks and Whites in the old south in the early 60's. It is a fairly quick read and you won't get bogged down in too much detail. You will come away with an understanding of a time in the history of race relations.

    Hilary, I loved Water for Elephants and highly recommend it. It can be intense so if you are looking for light, fun reading this would not be it. It will take you to a world you have probably never been to - traveling circus, historical facts about the Great Depression. love story, vibrant characters...
