What's World Without Islam about? And I started reading Last Mughal, but stopped halfway through. Will read it again as soon as I'm done with Hornet's Nest.
Have you read White Mughals, also by Wiliam Dalrymple?
Re: What book are you currently reading?

World without Islam is about the rise of Islam and its relation with other religion over the period of centuries consisting of great crusade, byzantine empire to modern day struggles by them, And author is convincing enough that though maligned by west, world without Islam wouldn't have been much different, further author has given very strong suggestion to US about calling back boots on ground and have long term strategy than short goals, over all a macro view about Islam with respect to outer world
The last mughal by dalrymple is fine style of reviving 'dastangi' style of history telling though credit also goes to Mahmood Farooqui for taking great pain, his book, Voices from Delhi 1857 is another book which should form the couplet with this to give full picture of the time. I have entire dalrymple collection except 'nine lives', from past two years I am not into fiction:)

Reading "Beloved" by Toni Morrison a second time. I didn't fully get it the first time :)

I've read some parts of the 'Nine Lives' and I liked the story of Lal Pari, a Bihari woman who migrated from Bihar, India and take refuge at Qalandar Shahbaz's dargah in Sehwan Sharif, Sindh.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
The Sugar Queen by Addison. So, far I really like it...particularly how the characters are connected to one another. Light reading...and has a nice flow to it.

Steve Jobs' biography ..The more you read it, the more you hate him, but when you realize that you are reading it on IPad, you start loving him at the same time.

Looks like it is another good book by Dalrymple, his love for mughal and for my city Delhi is so profound that I sometimes believe if there is any other dehliwala who loves his city as much
