It moves fast enough for me, it keeps you engaged with the obvious historical parallels and constant war theater switching imo. It wraps up nicely and doesn't seem too impossible for me. His novels about aliens arriving during WWII, on the other hand

I've occasionally had the urge to start reading it when I'm in the mood for pulp. the stuff i said i liked best was the first entry in this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Turtledove#Bibliography the aliens invading during world war ii might be the right mix of ridiculous and epic to get you inured to the whole turtledove situation. it's got its own wiki page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwar_series this might be the classic ridiculous turtledove novel - it's about racist south africans traveling back in time to help the south win the civil war with modern technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guns_of_the_South if you really wanna see some alternative history poo poo look into sm stirling  draka is creepy, the one where nantucket gets sent back in time to 1250 BC is kinda cute, and the books he co-authored with a nerdy-rear end vietnam war vet retelling the conquests of belisarius in a post-apocalyptic human-settled planet with roughly civil war era technology are my favorite alternative history ever, although this is just my middle school self talking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_series

Logikv9 posted:I skipped the 20s and went right for the three last novels (as a mistake too, but there's enough context to figure out what happened before). hell yeah, aliens arriving during wwii. featured current gop talking point EMP blast, as well, i think i did think the civil war series was fairly realistic. i liked how the north became allies with germany and started wearing kaiser moustaches and making people fill out a shitload of paperwork, and how it invaded canada and was evil, also the vignettes of life in war-torn washington dc. i got tired of it at some point though yeah and it does seem like that 20s book was just as easily covered with 'and this happened so i did this and' first-half-of-paragraphs i didn't link the glorious turtledove byzantium stuff. that might be a good place to start, actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_of_Byzantium edit: nerdy vietnam war vet i mentioned was david drake, the books he wrote where 16th century england's history, esp the more famous drake francis and the spanish armada, are recast in a post-Fall spacefaring solar system with plucky venus beating the evil terran empire in a series that apparently no wikipedian cares about since there's no article about the books. but i like this better than his more specifically masturbating-about-guns stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Drake_bibliography#Reaches oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 05:45 on Feb 24, 2016 |

It's too bad about Iowa because I really want Trump to go to the next debate and yell at Rubio and Cruz for thinking second and third is a win and that's why America isn't #1 in anything anymore. Actually I don't think Iowa will stop him from doing that.

i think evangelicals in iowa are largely a cultural group based on northern european protestant immigration in the 1800's with specific religious heritages and poo poo, while evangelicals in the rest of the country are people who dont go to church but feel like they're really angry culture warriors in favor of traditional whitism so they're probably what christ was looking for
