A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

How is that? I've meant to read it a million times but I've just never had the time or another book jumped to the top of my list

I'm stealing your Verne books when you're done with them FYI

Harry Turtledove writes those alternative fictional history books. I can't name the title off the top of my head but I seem to think that one involved the ongoing conflict of the US Civil War. How are his books?

Indeed, he is widely considered the premier writer of that genre. The series you are thinking of is often called the Southern Victory Series, which includes a whole bunch of books covering various periods within the context of the south winning. I think there are like 15 of them. Maybe you're thing of American Front, or Blood & Iron?
As for my impression of the work. I liked them, I really did. I have to admit though, I am a bit biased. See, very early on in my life I read a lot of work by John Jakes, who is an author who is primarily known for his historical fiction. As such I pretty much fell in love with his work and he became my all time favorite author when it comes to historical work in the fiction branch. As such, I would definitely recommend Turtledove, but part of me thinks you ought to read Jakes as well. Haha.

Not technically reading but I'm listening to two audio dramas. We're alive and the leviathan Chronicles. Both on iTunes, episodic instalments.

Definitely worth a listen if you use an apple product and got time to listen.

P.s my favourite book series is the sword of truth by Terry Goodkind.

Finished the two books that I was reading before and I am beginning to re-read "On Combat" and "On Killing" by Lt. Col. Grossman. Both are very good and informative books. I haven't read them in a while and thought with all the violence going on that I would re-read them.
