    Books That Were A "Trumpet Call"

    Guns, Germs and Steel, is a very good read too, and had lots of interesting points, I think there is an older thread on here about it. http://www.bookandreader.com/threads/jared-diamond-guns-germs-and-steel.10757/

    I wish you luck, I know some folks around here are great at reviews, but I am no good at them, I am more of a hobby reader. I read a lot and across all genres so I do better with help searching for books, if you are looking for something set in a certain place or era for instance, or something...

    Books That Were A "Trumpet Call"

    I am not quite sure if these are what you are looking for, but they are non-fiction books I have read and deal with social change. I will try to think of more but these 3 popped right out. Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic...

    Ancient history

    It has been a little while, I really liked them when I did read them so I may have to dig them out and reread. Another that may fit your search is, the Firebrand, by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

    Have you heard of the, Camulod Chronicles, by Jack Whyte? I really enjoyed them. Here's the synopsis of the first 2 books in the series.

    Forum shenanigans

    That is true now, way back when I was a regular, not so much so. And I am not trying to poke a hornets nest, I just was pointing out that this used to be a much different place and when it changed certain people like myself left and certain people stayed. The mood now is completely different and...

    Forum shenanigans

    I think a little shenanigans does a forum good :) I know in the past there have been hard feelings here about them but also feel BAR could use some spicing up. It seems only a handful of regular posters are here lately and maybe y'all like it quiet and small? But if you are thinking it would...

    Jasper Fforde: The Eyre Affair

    I may have to read them, I had meant to but got caught up in other things. I also read his, Shades of Grey, and really enjoyed it :)

    Neil Gaiman "The Ocean At The End of the Lane"

    It is a pretty quick read :)

    Jasper Fforde: The Eyre Affair

    I agree. I liked the Eyre Affair, it was kind of fun but I never picked up the next book in the series.

    Ender's Game movie - Nov. 1, 2013

    I hope it is good, the hubby has been waiting forever (one of his fave books) and may cry, in a very busy theater, on opening day if it stinks :)

    Neil Gaiman "The Ocean At The End of the Lane"

    I I have read it, I am a long time fan of Gaiman so I got it as soon as it came out. I may have gotten too excited, it didn't hit the spot like I had hoped it would. Don't get me wrong I didn't dislike it and would never discourage someone from it, it just was not quite as adult as I was...

    April 2013: Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

    I finished my reread and I still hold to my original review, I don't know did I post it before? If not I'll do so now. review I really was unsure if I wanted to give a 3 or 4 star rating on this book. I really liked it and there was much to like about it, the tone was great and the setting...

    Using a boy's name for my nickname all these years, I have gotten used to the misunderstanding. I actually stopped using it in real life recently but never bother to change it online :) I do think sometimes controversial books make for the best conversations, I like a little debate sometimes...

    I'm a girl and I don't mind if we don't do GWTW, I just want to pick books many will read and talk about :)

    April 2013: Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

    I guess there are some similarities, now that you mention it. Rival magicians being the biggest one. I really liked Jonathan Strange, though :) Maybe because we got more into the characters there. I had a big gap between the two so I didn't pick up on any sameness, now I may have to see.

    Scarlett in the book is much more complex and likable than Scarlett in the film :) Have we done, Breakfast At Tiffany's, then?
