I'll try and post here quite often, i'm on some music forums too so will have to divide my time........but i'm always up for a challenge.....

I generally read history books and historical biographies but i do mix it up with the odd novel and work of fiction and some classical texts and poetry......

Hi, Welcome! Do you have a favorite historical period or person?

Period, not really......WW1 or 2 and anything remotely associated........person, Benito Mussolini......

Thanks for the welcome.

...person, Benito Mussolini......

Now that is an interesting answer. What do you find so interesting? I was a history major in college, but I've never really did much with Mussolini. Enlighten me!

Sorry for the late reply, it's hard to say really......I am intrigued by all dictators really but Mussolini is the standout for me.........he cared more about the environment than the people of his country.......

That's OK. I was intrigued that you chose Mussolini because few people seem to be as interested in him as they are in the other villians of his era.

I've read a few books on general Italian history and some of his policies were interesting and i'm planning to read a biography about him soon, hopefully in the next few days.........think i'll start a thread once finished......might be interesting!

Cool. There are quite a few people here who enjoy history and historical non-fiction.
