Blessed Posted December 8, 2004 Salaams ya'll. Here it is, just register your vote here - so we can be on our merry way The book with most votes shall be our first read, insha Allah. In case you're at the choice of books - I just lifted them from Classiques list as it was agreed that she would have the first choice of book. It might be helpful to look at some of the reviews / descriptions nomads already provided of some of these books in the Hey Geek Squad Listen to Shehrazade thread! Once book is selected, we can go away, read it and return with our reviews and thoughts in about a month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted December 11, 2004 ^^Thank God for that. I have to read, summaries and present 2 other books (and audio lectures) for my sisters group by Sunday. I, worried that I would be left behind -cos I won't be touching this book till am done with my current project. I know some of have already read it, but you have to keep your lips sealed and wait for the rest of us. Insha Allah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grad Student Posted December 13, 2004 Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; writing maketh an exact man. Bacon I haven't had time to read but i envy the readers. Writing, however, is my vocation of the moment. keep up the conference! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
