NINE PARTS OF DESIRE
The hidden world of Islamic women ......... ladies enlighten yourselves and read this book by Geraldine BrooksThe ninth wife by Amy Stolls ...is another great read revealing the life of a polygamous wife in the Mormon faith .
The Yacoubian building by Alaa Al Aswany....... a great read of life in Cairo , by an Egyptian author.
Has anyone read any of these books ? Has anyone read any great books lately to recommend ?

„Professor Mmaa's Lecture” by Stefan Themerson, anti-utopian novel
„I, Phoolan Devi: The Autobiography of India's Bandit Queen” - about a woman who was born a year later than I did; please, read how she lived ... it's scary
Haven't read those ones but they sound interesting.

So, I can only recommend Orhan Pamuk for the moment.
But, I have read so many novels that my mind is a bit overloaded with that kind of literature, now I reread Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe. I find it always new and interesting.
be good if you wrote in English we can all understand you two .......
I am just a little disappointed actually , because between you both I don't know which one is more handsome or desirable... or which one the greater intellectual........ or which one the greater gentleman...... anyway best you both go and do your flirting with the cognoscente where you really belong ......
Mind you I do get excited when I see you both comment ... it gives me such a rush , I relish the attention , as you well know Firas you big brave Lion of Brabant....... Saskia kisses to you both all over you....x x x x xx x x x x xx x x
Also did you read READING LOLITA IN TEHRAN ? great insight to life there now. Many wonderful Indian authors as well . I loved Monica Ali's BRICK LANE life about Bangali immigrants to the UK ..saskia...have a great day girlfriend Jana.
Very detailed and a fabulously in-depth look at one of the great minds of the 20th century and a wonderful exposition of what America does to its real heroes.
I have recently watched Pride and Prejudice but have never been able to read the book. But, I have both watched and read Atonement - In this case the movie inspired me to read the book.
