I read a Dutch translation, so presumably not the same one as yours. Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 06:38:29 PM
Either that, or his style leaves something left to be desired. I'm not sure which it is. I'll have to ask my friend whose grandfather was Mahfouz's good friend, Salama Moussa. He's one of my Facebook friends.

That is pretty cool... but your friend might perhaps be a tad biased.

I'll give you a top five. I only read about 25 books so the top 10 isn't necessarily "good". Tom - 20/12/2010 07:26:41 PM 856 Views
