i've read two of those books and really liked them. several of the others i have wanted to read or i have read something else by the same author. some of them i had not heard of before.
i also very much enjoyed Rees's first Omar Yussef mystery and intend to read all of them. as far as i can tell he understands the region exceptionally well. i'm "friends" with him here on goodreads and could potentially arrange an author talk if anyone is interested...either about his own books/writing or middle east literature in general, or both!
oh, the two i've read are The Yacoubian Building and Cities of Salt.

I think This will be very interesting !
I did not read all the books he mentioned , so I do not know , for Yasmina Khadra, he presents new perspective on religious fanaticism in his books (more like a series) I already added Wolf Dreamsto our reading recommendations , aslo Tariq Aliideas seem Positive , I want to read The Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist and
Cities of Salt , for The Alexandria Quartet..it is huge but it seems I have to read it !
