Group: Past Tense
A group for all who use books as a sort of time machine to yesteryear; whether in nonfiction, fiction written by authors of decades and centuries gone by, or historical fiction (i.e., written by present day authors but dealing with things before their/our own life time). Everything from the Big Bang to the first half of the 20th century welcome! The more cross-genre and cross-period discussion we get here, the better.
