Modern writers:

Naguib Mahfouz whose work is brilliant in good translations...

closely followed by Khaled Hosseini

I am very biased towards Arab writers when it comes to modern literature.

If you don't like to read long novels check out some other Arab writers that are being published in translation but write in less volume (quality over quantity!)

Yahia Lababidi is an Egyptian - Lebanese writer / poet who has written a book of 'aphorisms' (short thought-provoking sayings). It is called 'Signposts to Elsewhere' and you can get it at Diwan. It makes a great gift... There are many other treasures in the good book shops you should check them out.

I also love absolutely everything that has been written pre-1900 and considered a classic - each genius and thinker has something special and different to offer the world.

There should be more good public libraries around Cairo.

Good question :-)

mmm... I don't have really an favorite author. But let me think about an English author... (all the names, which come to my mind are German authors..lol)... Pearl S. Buck is good, I love "The Good Earth" by him.

Now to my favorite books: I love Harry Potter :D loool... , Sheila by Torey Haydan (very great story!), "A lifetime" by Kate Veitich (or so..lol) and "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore (wooow.. so interesting!)... enough for today.. :)

Edit:

@ Meshmesha

I don't really have a favorite author because sometimes the same author will make a good book an a bad book which means i m not interested.

the type of books i like is about islam,mystery,and scary books.
