Argo by Antonio Mendez (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) Well-written, interesting story of the rescue of American hostages from Iran. The book gives a good historical perspective. Not having seen the movie, I don't know how it compares. -- Added by ebamm on 03/03/2013 Add Comment

The Columbus Affair by Steve Berry (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) Tom Sagan is a disgraced journalist and a disappointing father/son/husband who gets drawn into the search for items believed to have been hidden by Christopher Columbus. Along the way, the reader and Sagan are introduced to some little known Jewish history. The pacing of this book was perhaps not as good as other Berry books. However, I did find the story line interesting. -- Added by dabell on 03/02/2013 Add Comment

Inside Scientology by Janet Reitman (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) A fascinating history of the Church of Scientology, an objective and well-researched book. Reitman traces Scientology's development from the birth of Dianetics through to the present day, following its metamorphosis from a pseudoscientific self-help group to a worldwide spiritual corporation with profound control over its followers and even ex-followers. -- Added by bookaddict on 03/01/2013 Add Comment

The Lessons of Terror by Caleb Carr (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) Interesting take on the ultimate failure of terrorism to achieve long term political ends from the time of the Romans until the present day. -- Added by Lmclev on 02/26/2013 Add Comment

In This House Of Brede by Rumer Godden (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) I read this story of nuns in a 1950s Benedictine abbey in England years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I think, when I happened to see the movie of it on TV. Re-reading the book now, in my early 50s, was a fresh pleasure that offered fresh insights into both middle age and the choices we're all having to make about what to change and what to keep. -- Added by Hope on 02/26/2013 Add Comment

Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) Absolutely fascinating! O'Reilly chronicles the last weeks of the Civil War leading up to the assassination of President Lincoln. Definately hard to put down or listen to while doing other tasks. If you blink you miss too much :o) Also, this book shed a bright uncomfortable light on my woefully lacking public education. I can't believe how much I really didn't know about this momentous time in our country's history. Then again, it does the trick of inspiring me to read more. -- Added by Mrs. K on 02/26/2013 Add Comment

An Irish Country Village by Patrick Taylor (Historical Fiction, Westerns, History) Set in the '60s this series of books tells of the life of two country doctors in a small village in Ireland. This sometimes predictable but quaint series follows village life while giving small doses of Irish history and customs. I would recommend for light reading but was quite disappointed in the language. All other situations are relatively lighthearted and innocuous. -- Added by Mrs. K on 02/26/2013 Add Comment
