Afghanistan - Books

This certainly must be a beguiling country due to the plethora of books inspired.

It isn't just morbid Taliban curiousity but books about Afghanistan seem to be testament to the amazing human spirit and resourcefulness.

 

Have you read any of the following (or others) and what do you think?

 

Bookseller of Kabul

Beauty School of Kabul

Swallows of Kabul

Sewing Circles of Herat

1000 Splendid Suns

The Kite Runner

Book exchange

Hi,

 

I have moved to Doha for a few months, together with my collections of books. They are not antiques but I have spent days and nights reading them. Some are fiction, some are non-fiction on business, society, nature and, my favourite, geography.

 

If anyone is interested to share or exchange, please let me know.

 

Thanx.

GIBRAN

KHALIL GIBRAN was born 124 years ago as an Arab from Lebanon .Later he emigrated to the USA and wrote his novels in English, in Arabic .
I read from him The Prophet ,The Madman and I liked them very much however the Broken Wings did not impress me at all .
I know that he is very popular in the USA .Can anyone tell me how popular is he in the Middle East ? Is he known ,loved taught at school ?
Thank you ..

"You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen,—the seven masks I have fashioned an worn in seven lives,—I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, “Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves.”

adverbs?

Hi there?

Anyone read "Adverbs" by Daniel Handler? It has been sitting in my bedside table for a few days now and I just don't find the motivation to start to read it...

Would you recommend it?

Last book I read has been a total waste of time... the latest of Pablo Cohello, I don't know why I even bother with him any more...He just plays this role of spiritual guru and I find his stories a complete nosense (except for the alchimist, I liked that one).

Anyways...I'm looking for a good read. Something that when I'm done with it, I can be glad I spent some nights with. Any book you enjoyed lately?
