hello there,
hello, do you like to read?  I do, especially books set in the past...historical fiction is my favorite. 
well it's not really my favorite, I like real life history, what are your favorites?
I like shakespeare, i htink you can use that as an example of historical fiction since everything is set in the time period and the characters speak the way they did back then.
yes that would be a true fiction, I did read Romeo and Juliet in school and liked it, but took a while to learn thou and thee.
yeah the language is tough at first.  I also like more modern fiction, sometimes i find them not very accurate with period details.
what would you classify as modern fiction?
I just read a book called the stone diaries, it was set in the late 19th centure, it was quite good.  Described the roles or women and men at the time with a decent story.
