[QUOTE]Originally posted by metinoot: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Penny: [qb] The last Mahfouz I read was 'The Mirage'. Almost needed antidepressants after reading it! Just about to start 'Jerusalem The Biography' by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Should keep me quiet for a while. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks for the heads up on "The Mirage", I nearly went for "Wedding Song". Actually halfway through "Cairo Modern" I highly regard this book. Its got to be one of his best, and I was floored by "Respected Sir" and "The Journey of Ibn Fattouma" Simon Sebag Montefiore writes on topics I thoroughly enjoy reading. Though he sounds flamboyant and I am a little weirded out about a Dispora Jew writing on the Middle East, they can be one-sided and leave out entire chunks of history to push their agenda. Though he'd probably write in a flair I'd enjoy. Next is to finish Teddy Kollek's "For Jerusalem" his autobiography. Actually he's written probably the most very down to earth and enjoyable Tome of any Israeli founding leader. And I have read a bunch. [/QB][/QUOTE]
