I just finished reading Timeline by Michael Crichton. I thought it was pretty good. It's about quantum physics and a group of archaeology students that go back in time to the castle that they are currently excavateing. I don't usually like time travel in books but this one was really good.

Part Swedish and part Middle Eastern, the former Lisa Halaby was in the first class at Princeton to admit women and her father was once the head of the FAA.

Obviously the slant on the Middle East political issues is decidedly not pro-American, but neither is it a total bash of American politics either.

So far, I'm enjoying this book immensely - so much that I read almost the whole first 1/2 on an airplane on Saturday.

I've read the books by the Saudi Arabian princess. I found it very interesting and engaging. The autobiography really touched me.

I should check this one out.

I'm gonna start reading "The Virgin Blue" by Tracy Chevalier. I've already read "Girl With a Pearl Earring" and "Fallen Angels" by her and both were very good.
