Just finished reading The Bookseller of Kabul. It was interesting and a good book. Icecub you should read this one as I am sure it will appeal to you...! (you mentioned you liked Middle Eastern cultures)
I found it at times, quite depressing to the way woman have to live in Afghanistan and this is all after the Taliban ! After a few hours of reading I found I had actually been transported to another world and was engrossed in the way people live and think. It is a book which depicts middle class life in Afghanistan and definitely shows you the human side of it all - I would never call this middle class though. A book which will make you think, especially if you are a woman. A thought provoking read !
