What book are you reading at the moment and what is it about?

Im reading this book called Sophie's world by Josten Gaarder. Just reading the first couple pages....it's about philosophy.

What about you?

right now im reading my math book trying to understand some thing out of it.

i am reading a suitable boy by vikram seth its a damn thick book i dont think i will get to finish it soon enough, because i keep on getting dumped with college assignments.

Well if you are living in London and end up commuting best way to take advantage of the long journey is by reading...can't seem to understand why people read the METRO magazine and listen to music on their IPODS...waste of time.

Maths book? don't remind me I have two statistics book which I need to get my head around.

I am guessing that nobody is reading the Quran on a daily basis.

i do read quran every day total of 3 hours if not more.
i didn't count as reading though.
it's learning just like math.lol

A very silly one

At the mo am reading this Book by Gigi Levangie called ManEater it's about a woman who plans a wedding with a very rich man without him knowning and plans to make him fall in love with her within a couple of weeks.. It seems cheesy but in actual fact most girls will ravish this plot

One of the books that I recently read which made a big impact on moi was 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'- I'd been wanting to read it ever since I'd heard of it, since I thought 'The Kite Runner' was a really good book too, and I definatley wasn't disappointed, although it was very sad. Also I found a book called 'A Hundred Shades of White' by Preethi Nair which I found okay but wanna get the Chinese Seamstress' and a few other classics thrown in too inshallah wheneva i get the time to go to the library.

Mystic_Angel:- Thank you for that short review. 'A thousand splendid suns' is next on my reading list. I've also read the 'Kite Runner' and I loved it completely. The attention to detail & the descriptions of places were just breathtaking.

Zaynah:- Nice name sis. I'm reading 'Orientalism' at the moment by Edward Said. It's about Colonial and Post-Colonial Literature ( Western Literature) and their representations of the people from the Middle East & Asia. So basically it is about Western stereotypes of the people from the Middle East & Asia.

I'm reading a very interesting book called


:A Spy At The Heart Of The Third Reich:

The Extraordinary Story Of Fritz Kolbe, America's Most Important Spy In World War II

You've got good taste in books! I did manage to read few of Edward Said's books. (Allaha haw naxariisto) Orientalism and this book was one of the most popular and influential academic books ever written.
