I've just read a review and they look like a good read.
Yesterday afternoon I took out 'A Thousand splendid Suns' from the library and I returned it today.....I just couldn't put it down- it was fantastic.

cairo trilogy is fantastic, hope you enjoy.
went to khan el khalili when in cairo recently and it was so weird to look around and think of the tales of then and try and imagine the place as it was

Ive been reading the Cairo trilogy and its great I cant wait to go to Cairo in October even if it is for a day. The author makes everything seem so life like in bazzars and coffee houses. Im now on the second book and cant wait to get home to read. !

You all just reminded me that I have the whole trilogy just waiting to be re-read . . . I got a hard-back volume with all 3 so that should be a balancing act for bedtime reading.
I think it might have more immediacy for me since I've been to Cairo several times now. I hadn't even been at the time I first read them so this should be interesting.
Hot summer days and nights are meant for doing nothing but reading!!
