I think the Napoleon and Josephine story was intriguing.
You might try Wikipedia for some info on that.
I also have read about Henry the VIII and all of his wives. I esp. enjoyed reading about Anne of Cleves and his last wife Catherine. (not sure if I am spelling that right). Anne got an annullment and continued to live in England. And reportedly Catherine married him when he was old and ill and faithfully nursed him (he had ulcers on his leg). That speaks volumes about her character.
Martin Luther (one of the founders of the Reformation) was a former priest. After he left the priesthood, he married a former nun. They went on to have several children. I always thought that was neat.
I always loved reading books about the English monarchy. The lives of kings and queens sound like a soap opera!
I have loved to read about the settling of the west, esp. through a woman's perspective. Try and find the book A Bride Goes West by Nannie T. Alderson and Helen Huntington Smith. Nannie Alderson was a Southern raised girl who married a Montana rancher. Her life is fascinating.

Happy Reading!!

The founding of our country and the hows and why of the Constitution

Homer's Odyssy, Alexander the Great, to many to choose.

Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their children (Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexis) have always interested me. Alexandra's sister Elizabeth was also very interesting when Tsar Nicholas abdicated she became a nun.

Catherine of Aragon was a wonderful figure. She was brave enough to stand up to what she knew was wrong. (Mistakenly she is usually portrayed as a dark Latino, when in reality she fair was blonde). The author of "The Other Boleyn Girl" has written a book about her called "The Constant Princess".

there is this ukranian jew named a. grossman, his first name i can't remember, but easy to find i'am sure, and he was a writter for a big moscow paper during ww2. some of his stories and eyewitness accounts are the most arresting i have ever come across. if nothing else his account on entering toblinka death camp is superb-the carfully planted flowers on the walkway to the gas chambers is chilling. grossman takes you to stlingrad, and i mean you are in starlingrad as the germans try to blast there way in and threw the city.
