I'd personally love to see a book set during the Islamic Golden Age (786 - 1258) or the Interregnum (1649 - 1660).

That does sound good! Another thing to consider is how little we know about our early ancestors and their social norms when we struggle with social norms with other cultures now!
Thanks for the comment.

I second both of these! I haven't really tried to dig anything up, but I would love the book equivalent of an old-school kung fu movie!Amy+++ wrote: ↑29 Jun 2018, 15:31 That's a hard one to answer, I would say the 1990's. I just love hearing people talk about VHS tapes and dialup. I feel that too many people go too far back in time. They either go to the 18th and 19th centuries or the 80s. It would be nice to see the 90's get some light shown on them again.
And I just love the 90's. lol
