Theme for July: Plagues and Pandemics

[damned_colonial]

It's official. The them for July will be Plagues and Pandemics. I'm down to run it, so I'll be posting a theme intro shortly.

The theme for August is still somewhat up in the air; Roman Britain and Women at War (WW1) are neck and neck, so I'll be contacting the people who offered to run those and seeing whether either of them has schedule clashes or something that would solve the problem. Otherwise, there may have to be a tiebreaker poll!

Oh, the comparison between Clavell and Japanese authors would be interesting, for sure! I've just finished two years in college of what amounts to comparative world history; it would be fun to go off on that tangent in fiction.

I also just finished an undergrad honors thesis on The Secret History of the Mongols; you may not want to turn me loose on that one. ;-) There is definitely enough material out there for this; I'll come up with more after I'm done with the damned India paper that's still biting at my ankles.

Thanks!
