 Our History

We are book lovers with an interest in history, especially Roman History. This may be by way of fiction, mystery, or non-fiction, including ancient historians. We originally started on America Online, but later moved to the Internet at large.

The Reading Group began in 1997 with the bestselling "Masters in Rome" series by Colleen McCullough.

We often alternate fiction and nonfiction (mostly ancient historians), and enjoy mysteries by Steven Saylor and Lindsey Davis. And have started using themes also.

Discussions are free ranging, profound and not so profound, depending on subject and participants. But everyone seems to enjoy the chats.

New members are always welcome! Subscription is free.

 Where to Find Us:

If you are a member of Ancient/Classical History Forum at About.com, you may watch there for chat announcements.

 Where We Chat:

In our chat room (Google Talk) every first and third Wednesday of the month except for August.
