My name is Josh, and I'm a 17 year old student living in Knoxville, TN. My predominant interest is history, more specifically, Rome during the Republic, Classical Greece, and the Napoleonic Wars. Others interests include literature, philosophy, and running.
I had a series of user names on old AE(from oldest to most recent): Jean Lannes, Book of Faith, and Praefectus Castrorum.

Age: 19
Interests: history, philosophy, literature, music (metal)
Occupation: student of Latin and Greek
Location: Nijkerk, Netherlands
Favorite Time Periods in History: Ancient Rome and Hellas
Religion: officially Christian but more or less agnostic by now
Best books I've read so far (from the top of my head): Harry Mulisch - De ontdekking van de Hemel (The Discovery of Heaven), Gerard Reve - De Avonden (The Evenings), Homeros - Ilias (I haven't finished the Odyssee yet, so I'll probably include it later ), the Gilgamesh Epic

I'll add more if I can think of more.

Ahoy to all. My name is Anna and I happened upon this site while doing a google search. I am an avid gamer with a more than slight obsession with pirates (not the real ones, just the hook-for-hand and eyepatch ones). I am an English Lit major and I (although my university doesn't offer any courses in it) specialise in Russian literature of the 18th and 19th century. My favorite historical period/place would have to be Ancient Egypt, though I am fascinated by most ancient civilizations.
Anyways, I am glad to join your lovely community. I was very happy to find a board devoted to history and I hope I can fit right in

My name is Giorgos, I live in Athens, Greece, I am a reckless bum (or so my wife calls me all the time), a workaholic (or so I let people think) and an avid history fan. Compared with most of you, I am also an extremely old reckless bum (like... 35!!!! years old).
