Never really fond of reading book of the same genre. But, maybe this would help.

Ive just finished reading Jean Sasson's trilogy which tells the story of a princess in Saudia Arabia and the treatment of women in their culture. Very interesting and informative, often shocking.... especially the first book "Princess" is not for the faint hearted...

There are a lot types of book depend what you like?? Thanks bushra the link has great ideas I never seen it before. I am not loyal to writers I read whatever reach my hand, although I use to read a lot of Arabic books before and just now started my old habit of reading. I want to read this book “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” I heard it is good too girly though.

Can't wait for The Da Vinci Code 2. Also, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Unbelievable how people lived centuries ago.
