It was around this time ten years ago that I picked up my first HT book, Worldwar: In the Balance. Good times. |

Woah, ten years, eh? I think i've only been into HT for...3 years. I remember bringing in my first HT book, American Front, to my AP history class and talking to my friends about it in excited tones. Ahhhh, I miss that excitement. |

Closer to twelve for me. WW:ItB was my first, as well. |

Or at least I think it was in 1998. It could've been in 1997 or 1999, but I'm fairly certain I picked it up in the spring semester of sixth grade, so 1998. Hey, wasn't the first Ancient Board also set up in '98? |

Like TR1, it's been 12 years since World War for me. However, I don't like to think about that, because it reminds me that in another 3 years, I'm 30. Shudder. |

I picked up Return Engagement because it looked cool, but I didn't know it was part of an overall series. The book was shelved for two years until I started the series. |

It's been about 9-10 years for me. My first was GW:AF. |

I just turned 30 in October. It's not so bad. |

If Darwin and TeddyJake still posted then 30 would be considered young, because they were in their 40s. I know of a regular on another board who is in his 50s. |

I turned 30 back at the beginning of the month and it really sucks. |

My first was GotS, and that too was about ten years ago--late spring of '98 I believe. Of course, he hasn't really been my favorite author for a while now. Not sure I have one these days, though I've been picking up Robert Alexander's stuff fairly enthusiastically. |

Guess that makes me the old man of the board -- I read my first Turtledove novel back in '92 or so. |

Sorry to disappoint you Makk but I read "Vilest Beast" in the original Analog, September 1985 printing and then most of the other A Different Flesh stories along with the Agent of Byzantium stories as they came out. Then I had a long hiatus from SF but came back with GotS. Edit: Oops not quite just that. I also read some of HT's stand alone stories in Analog, most memorably "The Road Not Taken" and "Hindsight". |
