Aye. I have a fairly small set of authors that I prefer over any other...

Mine is a bit wider, but I'm also including Spanish writers and a few French ones. But yes, in essence, we gravitate towards some authors more than others, sometimes reading them exclusively.

I noticed that sometime ago, but thought nothing of it and still don’t.

I never got into star trek for the same reason, it seems boring to me when it's not a small-scale story and is instead a universe.

One good thing about Star Trek is that the Enterprise crew largely remain the same. It takes place over an entire universe, but the main crew remain the same.

What kind of historical fiction? My favorites are James Wilde’s Time of the Wolf, and Bernard Cromwell’s Ughtred of Bebbanburg books.


Currently I'm into Crusades' fiction like Crossed, from Nicole Galland. You can say that I'm in a Medieval historical fiction frame of mind. Next on my list is Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael mysteries. Love those.

I was exploring astronomy based topics when I ran across this old favorite of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk

I think I'm slowly starting to dislike twilight. The movie, at least. Kinda crappy acting.

I’ll have to look into those. It’s just something about the Vikings and Saxons I find so enticing. I have no idea what it is. My favorite show for example is Vikings...

No. You're the first person to ever notice that.

I was just pointing out something I thought was mildly amusing. Just because the rest of you aren't blind enough to have never noticed that until now doesn't mean you have to bite my virtual head off. ;)

Unless it's one episode of ST: The Next Generation, they don't even leave the Galaxy.
Star Trek Voyager only goes 70,000 light years from Earth(The entire series is them trying to get back to Earth)
Hell, Star Trek Deep Space 9 doesn't even move that much. :P
They're not boring, I recommend starting one The Next Generation(Season's 1-3 isn't as good as season's 4-7 though)

I'm certain there's historical fiction on that. I just have never read any.

There are quite a few books on the subject in general. I just wrote a big term paper on the Crusades, namely the First Battle of Antioch.

Galland's book centers on the Fourth Crusade. What turned out to be Doge Dandolo's crime against Byzantium.

I just found out there is a Latin Singles website.
Your all invited.
Fascismo Italiano

My name is Alfonso Rizzotto, I get overly excited much too easily!
I refer to people I respect as Signore or Signora, if your wondering.
I am an Italian Fascist that moved to America when I was a bit younger! I really like your Disney, it's older stuff is cool. Your women are scary, in fact one time a girl tried to force me to out with her, and I was so scared I almost did! Please stop letting them use testosterone!
Don't fuck with Italy man!
