I've read his Guns of the South, and the one about the second civil war (can't remember the title right now). I got most of the books in that series, and will probably start reading them soon.

as I said it does go on. 10 books so far.

Edit: oh, and an explanation of "In the presence of Mine Enemies"

Counterfactual history is my favourite Genre and I check Uchronia every day.

[Caduceus]

Currently reading:

Galileo's Daughter - nonfiction, historical
The history of the astronomer/mathematician and his correspondence with his daughter who was in a convent.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Highly recommending:

Cryptonomicon (Neal Stephenson, as well)

Great read, but monstrously thick like Quicksilver. Currently plowing my way through The Da Vinci Code (and it's getting boooring) then going to read Quicksilver.

I'm starting to go through Quicksilver as well, but it's monstrously thick like you said.

The obligatory reads for Stephenson are Snow Crash and Diamond Age though.

And yeah, I'm back again. Mindi managed to restore my account. Apparently two other people were also affected. I wonder who.
