Welcome

I'm sorry about your grandfather. Where did he fight in fight in WWII, in the Pacific or in Europe?

Are you ready for Dickens? If so, you might enjoy The Tale of Two Cities, which is about the French Revolution.

If you like American books, you might try Gone with the Wind, a very long novel about the Civil War, with lots of action and interesting characters.

Reading biographies of important women will give you a lot of history. Eleanor Roosevelt (politics and social action), Marie Curie (science) and Charlotte Bronte (literatuve) are a few of the ones I have enjoyed learning about.

Red Badge of Courage is also a pretty good Civil War era novel.

Welcome aboard!
