You kinda remind me of my sister's obsession with a novel full of puzzles and digging for some sort of treasure
the novel's heros are : a jewish , a christian and a muslim
and the puzzle is related to sayings from all these three religious books, altogether they break the code
اللوح الأزرق
The novel seems very magnificent , the writer is with vast knowledge about Quranic and Hadith sayings
He is french under the name
Gillbert Sinoue


in shallah I will read it
Arabic version is only available here
which is like thank God to me XD
I agree it might be hard with English

you will have to drop all your rationality away once u pick some of these books

Yeah , I hope our days must be cheery ones

I see your English is becoming wonderful

Sisters are like the most wonderful gift God gives : )
Yup I used to read that kinda books when i first joined college but not now

It's really helpful, try to practice on the English page every
time u finish a chapter

Hallo everyone
how is it going with you
I came late, I know : (
cus when this topic was created I hadn't anything to present
but from now on ISA, I think there will be sth to push me coming here
so now, I'd thank you sister Azuma for such a marvelous topic
and I'm happy finally to post a sentence here : )

Today I read sth which was written by Shakespear called The Comedy Of Errors
really really fantastic, and I assure you, you'll not be able to stop smiling and laughing during your reading for it
I liked it indeed and advise you to read it : )

in the road, there's another book I guess I'll come back ISA to speak about it when it's finished : )

All the regards : )

Hey hello
glad to see you here
speaking of books , yesterday I finished a book titled as a visit at the prophet's house
the book is small and very interesting , loved it , loved the Prophet more and all of his teachings ..
Peace and mercy and blessings be upon him
..
Also I'm currently reading a new series of dear dumb diary that is even more dumb
this kinda books got to help us know more about the slang
..

My Tess project was canceled though I'm soo stunned at it but the language is sooo difficult for a poor learner like me
got to wait a little more till it becomes easy or almost so -_-
..
.Shakespeare , yup though I hate him but sometimes he can get u funny interesting stuff

[Nino chan]

I DO hate Shakespeare too

but there's a play entitled "The Tempest" i wish i can read soon
because it was intertextualized by Eliot in his The Waste Land
and also in
"لا تصالح" لـ أمل دنقل
i believe they both use Shakespeare's idea of pearls
(the issue of eyes )


i've finished "Zainab" lol.. and currently reading
زيتون الشوارع لـ إبراهيم نصرالله
and i didn't understand any word from it even though it's an arabic novel XD
