Just another Thursday…
I don’t know why but I been feeling down a lot lately.. I think I am just too depressed to think straight or do anything fun.. I am not saying depressed in a psychological way.. but depressed in a boredom way.. I want to do something.. I just finished reading Digital Fortress.. Two thumbs up I may add.. when you got a book like that and it is a page turner then I enjoy it more and more!! I like to read.. I bought 3 more books today.. there were a bunch of old ladies selling a huge collection of used books.. so I bought almost brand new books for 3 bucks each.. better then the 12 or 15 dollars for new ones.. I may buy more, but I didn’t have that much cash on me.. and the lady was so nice.. she was like you can give me anything you like.. I was like no no.. I got 9 bucks somewhere hidden.. hehehe.. I need recommendations for more books.. I like suspense or historical books.. anyone out there has read a few that you may tell me about it.. maybe I will buy it or borrow it from the library!
Hello world! My name is Mona, a Palestinian living in London, Ontario, Canada. I am a computer programmer and graphics designer. This is my personal web blog, and you can learn more about me [
I found this book more interesting and more relevant to today’s Palestine than I thought I would:

It talks about historical social and economic factors that shaped society and economy in Nablus and its surrouding areas, but much of it applies to other parts of Palestine and the Levant (bilad al-sham). It is written in academic style so needs concentration to read. The author is a friendly guy who took time to speak to me via email.

This is the first and only book I ever read (parts of it) about the Crusades. It is written from a Christian prespective, but I did not find any of it that contradicted what I learned about the history of the Crusades based on Islamic sources. I thought it was as objective as a book of this type can be. Written like a story format so quite nice and interesting to read.
Salam,

Hmmm, if you are interested in books of History like me,
Then now im reading an Arabic book called “Moqaddemet Ibin Khaldoun” . Im sure you’ve heared of it, it’s a great book by a great Author from the old good days of the Lost Islamic Empire, It takes you to another time and place. I highly recommend this one.
Have a nice Day
