I enjoyed:

The Cairo Trilogy -- Naguib Mahfouz

The Yacoubian Building -- Alaa al-Aswany

The Open Door -- Latifa al-Zayyat

Only in London -- Hanan al-Shaykh

In the Eye of the Sun -- Ahdaf Soueif

Zaat -- Sonallah Ibrahim

Started reading "Rama and the Dragon" by Edwar al-Kharrat recently, but couldn't really get into it.
