I am reading the last Stieg Larsson (Hornet's Nest), and then The Arabs: A History, by Eugene Rogan.

I was in the bookstore earlier today and was fondling a copy of The Arabs. You should let us know how it is, when you get there. I might be interested in getting it.


however the title is a little misleading - it isn't a history of the Arab people as such but more a history to the current Middle East politics starting with the Ottoman Empire's conquest of much of the Arab world.

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"
