Dezert, can you tell me something about the Georgie Zeidan book, العرب قبل الاسلام? What sort of readership? Sources? Any good?
Hello Dezert,
I finally finished The Blind Assassin yesterday, so as requested my verdict. It is utterly Brilliant!! Her prose is perfect.It is incisive,intelligent and honest. I enjoyed every word that was written. Each sentence builds beautifully on the last and leaves you in awe that anybody could write this well. I hope this helps.
Yes I will let you know. The Blind Assassin so far is enthralling, it is beautifully written and I am enjoying every word I read and to be honest I am finding it hard to put down.
I have read the Da vinci code but I don't own it at the moment, so I haven't added it to my Library. Thanks for the recomendation though.

Thank you for adding me to your 'Interesting Libraries' list! :-)
Hi! Sadly, I still have books in boxes, and those are the ones that haven't even made it to the catalog. Everything on LT though, is out of its box and in the light of day. I aspire to get them all on shelves, but it's a goal that seems forever retreating into the distance. The ones not on shelves, are in piles on the floor and on various flat surfaces (in my house, tables are not for eating at.) I actually wrote about the library once, if you're interested:

There's a few photos there, but the pictures are several years old and one of the walls that looks blank in the images now has four cases lining it.

Still, there are worse vices than having too many books!
almost always fiction - sometimes sci-fi - works that take me "somewhere else" - often those that inform & educate me about places, peoples, or subjects I know little about - many times just a fun read or good "yarn"
You are welcome. Enjoy. Bob
I see that you have recently added The Campaigns of Alexander. I just finished The Virtues of War by Stephen Pressfield. Although it is fiction, I think it is excellent and that you may enjoy it. I surely did.

Best Regards,

Bob
Thank you for your effort, I greatly appreciate it.
It is one of my favorite novels. I have been collecting it with many different covers and when I can find the in other languages. I have 10-12 English copies with different covers and one in Spanish and one in French.
I know it has been published in many languages, but finding non-English copies in the US is hard to do.

Thanks

Hello Dezert,

Do you know if Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has been published in Arabic?
