Alternate History Books
Just very recently I've become interested in the genre of alternate history, and specifically the subgenre of what-if-the-Nazis-had-won?
There's surprisingly a large amount of works in this subgenre, and I've gotten three books now: Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, Harry Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies, and Robert Harris's Fatherland.
Anyone read these novels? Can anyone suggest anything else in the same vein?
someone (who will remain nameless) once forced me into reading an orson scott card series about an alternate US history. Alvin Maker, I think it's called. It wasn't horrible, I guess.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I haven't read any of the ones mentioned, but I have been meaning to read the Galatin series by L. Neil Smith. It's about an alternate US history where the wording in the Constitution was slightly different, leading to it being abandoned and replaced with a new one, with a less powerful government.
I think alternate history ideas are very interesting!
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.

I read The Man In The High Castle and really enjoyed it.
