Literary Consolidation 11 - 20

Or the Reader’s Digest Condensed Edition 2^nd Ed. Well it’s time to reduce the page length again by creating a post of ten books. I’ll give the picture as a link to where it can be purchased, in exchange for using the picture, a little bit about each book, and a link to my original take on the book.

This is an excellent book that covers that roll women have played throughout the colonization of the current United States. It’s a recommended read for all history fans.

This is the fourth in the Hinges of History series. It gives a great overview of the Greek civilization at it’s greatest, and what Western civilization owes them.

This actually represents the first 4 books in the series. It’s a good place to start if you want to enjoy the word Peter David has created.

This is a decent second book in the Hinges of History Series by Thomas Cahill. While not as compelling as the first, it helps set the series on its path.

This is another good book by Stephenson, author of Snow Crash. It takes place over two different time periods and three connected families.
