    to you, which books do you think deserve to be read
    You are doing a great job by such books you read
    To me I think Religious and historical books are to be a must read specially these days


    f you started reading a book.. hmm and you stopped at something crucial relating to religion..
    would you continue reading that book or not
    What do you mean by crucial ? things related to others' beliefs or an attempt to criticize ours ?e
    It depends on how crucial it is , and I think most of the time I would ignore it if the book I got is really worth reading

    Do you think a book can be the ONLY friend of you ?

    Your book is your best guide that you shouldn't let go of
    you see in most advanced nations books are glorified the most , so yeah it has to be your best friend most of the times

    thnx Azuma san

    sorry for ambiguity, i was out of place "
    it's a book by Edward Said" :P
    what i mean, there are such books for Muslims mm who adopt Western beliefs
    Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses for example..

    what i want to ask here, do you close your mind when an author deals with the Holy things like mocking Islamic faiths

    or you accept the book and try to keep these stuff out of your mind.


    another question
    what do you think of the books talking about Orientalism ? shouldn't we "educated ppl" read more in the field of politics to know where Muslims stand and where we should stand ?

    this is for today :P

    .I believe we ,as Muslims , should be open minded to understand the world around us
    If books like Salman rushde's were meant essentially for mocking Muhammad then what good or relief will it bring me ? let alone wasting my money and supporting him. We can be opened to things that will do us good and if it was of a high literary value , then I think literature will lose its value when based on mocking others' creeds
    I can't judge but people like him might use something like this as an excuse to win fame or whatever purpose he sought,
    d
    yet this very writer might have another marvelous book that It will be a waste if I didn't read it so no harm in reading him somethin new !
    g

    .I was going to add politics when you asked me subjects that are worth reading but I forgot

    Well , orientalism has always carried a negative implication though books like Sigrid Hunke
    can guarantee pleasing your eyes . I never read a book by an orientalist except Sigrid 's
    شمس العرب تسطع على الغرب
    what else do you recommend ?I hate to be gullible after all
    Sure we must go deep into politics to learn and avoid alot specially when all nations have already won their bite from our flesh
    ! and if there is so much to learn in such books well why not quenching our thirst


    Nice questions little book worm
    : ) I'm not by the way but trying to be

    , i understand your point of view about Rushdie's books
    i wanted to know if other ppl think as you or those ppl who say why not reading about anything.. but religion aside :P
    (those are my teachers :||||||)

    about orientalism, i don't know alot>> expect Edward Said, you should try his books.. not because he is a Palestinian professor worked in
    American universities.. but because he gives an accurate image of what happens in colonialism, post-colonialism, imperialism and so on

    this speech reminds me of an article, an amazing one !!! Sartre's Preface to Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth

    Sigrid Hunke

    i remember her name when we talked about Sartre and Fanon verrrrry interesting !!


    After reading such stuff dealing with politics, my mind becomes more and more open


    bookworm
    looool XD
    ok.. i might be lolz thanks to SOMEone
    <3

    do you like to continue like this ??
    because i need to know more books from others' knowledge.. am not that reader ^_^""

    Religious books are important you know I'm currently reading
    تفسير إبن كثير
    and I knew many things I thought I got them right concerning the Quranic verses
    I think with every verse I become a new Muslim , it's something beyond imagination , yet If you come to see my book case most of the books are literary and academic
    So we must be cultivated not close minded and vary in what we read-yes0" class="inlineimg" />

    I will study your Palestinian writer and learn more about the colonialism , I will give history and politics alot insha'alla , you see I have the Arabian encyclopedia where I can find something about colonialism , have you got other reference !??
    It's true that the oreintalism had made the way easy to the colonialism and some say it was the ultimate aim of some orientalists


    !May be we Arabs must become ourselves orientalists and be more interested in ourselves and identity



    I don't mind
    I wanna know more about some good books like yours

    `Big Brother is Watching You`
    `peace is war, war is peace`
    lolz ... memories !!!
    George Orwell is the author of 1984 ( one of the best novels ever, Do you know that Code Geass is a parody of it ?) .. most of his novels are political ones
    ..
    i've read 1984 and Animal farm... both are sarcastic, criticizing the world, Europe. WW, WWII

    his language is very very very simple and catchy !!!

    Twilight !
    In fact I WAS not convinced with all Bella's fabricated drama that I couldn't stand

    Umm as for the language ,I wouldn't say it's easy , there are far more vocabulary in English than I had just expected while reading the novel ! indeed the plot isn't successful at all but there is a very indescribable deal of description Stephenie includes which what I admire the most in her book

    But I couldn't see the cause of all the fuss that is made out of her books ! She's bee
    n really over rated ! may be coz the majority are teens and that will increase her thumps up
    When I discussed this with my teacher she had some expressions that I had never seen on her face when talking about Bella , hah she's irritated by the
    author choice of heroine ! g

    and I agree with my teacher , how can't I :P

    yes very excited to reading Tess as soon as possible
    I don't have time either but I try to make use of the little I have

    Good luck with a new reading list mate
