I’m reading books by Moroccan authors at the moment. I think it is very interesting to learn about a country’s life and culture through literature. I’m reading in French, partly because the books are more readily available in French (I think many may not be translated into English) and partly to improve my French.  
I have recently read books by Tahar Ben Jelloun, Abdellatif Laarbi, Driss Charaibi.

I read on the Internet about a book written in Darija - “Tkarkib nab” by by Yousssef Amine Elalamy.  
([Yabiladi.com](http://Yabiladi.com) - 03/03/06 : La darija pour apprendre a lire)  
I would like to try and get hold of the book.

Has anybody seen or read it ?

If you read “the kite runner” for the same author and liked it you’ll definitely like this one too

it talks about frienship redemption prejudice…

I personally liked it although I don’t agree with everything mentioned in the story 🙂

No ummaryam, there are some bookworms around, just to let you know 🆒 \< those glasses are supposed to be transparent by the way.

The last book i read was a turkish book called “Afrikadaki Isik” which basically means “The hope in Africa”, was a great book, i especiallllly dug deep into the section about Morocco, quite sadly though the author didn’t make ANY mention of Algeria, which broke my heart ☹ Was a good book though, made me appreciate many things which i had overlooked and undermined.

But if you guys are asking for English books, the last book i started (Yes, i didn’t finish it yet) was Moorish Spain, it’s a 500+ paged book so… i’m waiting for the holidays so i can read till morning…

Do you mean “Spanish Islam”, by Reinhart Dozy, translated by Frances Griffin Stokes, by any chance? Hehehehe; I read that one last summer. It is an academic type of chronological history, ending before 1494, but well worth the read.

And I am glad that there are other bookworms; you know a Lalla that your last post here was on 10/31, mine stayed all lonely from 2/16-5/24, and only then did I hear from you again; we’re on our own, for now.

Actually, you might not believe me, but i have both those books, for now though Spanish Islam is just sitting on my bookshelf and looking at me with its fluro green cover 🙂

And oh Ummaryam, i read about 5 more books after that last post of mine on 10/31, but most were turkish books, one was a beautiful account of Fatima r.a’s life, i loooooved it.

Why would you think that I might not believe you? Am I making you feel defensive? I am pretty darn well sure that just about everyone on this forum has read multiple books in the past, say, even two months; they just don’t want to post about them. …Do you know what Asperger’s Syndrome is? It’s a form of high functioning autism where those who suffer from it can lead relatively normal lives; they are usually quite intelligent. However, they don’t understand people; they have no filter between their brains and their mouths and it gets them in to all sorts of trouble, socially… And no, I don’t suffer from that one; I just like to read books about neurology and such.
