I do love historical fiction and certainly the 1950s and 1960s qualify as historical by this time. Such books seem to me to give the truest insight into the culture of the times.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-51774881328045647032016-05-09T13:05:18.356-07:002016-05-09T13:05:18.356-07:00I had a week a while back when I couldn't keep...I had a week a while back when I couldn't keep up with the comments on the blogs I follow. Being me, of course I totally stressed out on it. But you are loyal and always comment. Thank you so much for that. My fav novels by Mahfouz are the Cairo Trilogy. But I have liked most of the others as well. If you search Mahfouz on the blog you will find the reviews. I have not read other Egyptian novels so far. Have you?Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-76723230347935954842016-05-09T12:38:09.380-07:002016-05-09T12:38:09.380-07:00You had a reading slump?
