I finally joined after stopping by a few times to obtain books recommendations. Everyone's expertise is much appreciated.
My tastes run from ancient history to the far future, but right now I have been reading The Academician - Southern Swallow - Book I by Edward Patterson set in 12th century China. I'm not sure what I think about it yet. I picked it up on Amazon because I enjoyed the Judge Dee mysteries by Robert van Gulik.
Next on my TBR list are Barbara Cleverly's Inspector Joe Sandilands books which I first read about here.
I am looking forward to adding more and more titles to my list.
