    I have two books going at once -- a non-fiction and a fiction. I like to read while on the elliptical, but I can't do non-fiction on it. So, I keep a fiction book around for that purpose. My non-fiction is pretty much all history (Freedom from Fear by Kennedy right now) and my fiction books are mystery/thriller.

    Harry Turtledove, a professor at USC, is probably the king of alternate history. He writes series of books. Here are my two favorite World War, an alien invasion fleet arrives during the middle of World War II, http://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/worldwar.html. And the Great War, the South wins the Civil War, and the North and South fight through a second Civil War, the both World Wars. http://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/greatwar.html

    I don't have a good link but probably the best example of Turtledove's work might be "Guns of the South" where white separatists time-travel back to the Civil War and supple Lee with AK-47s.
