Comments on: Good read and good night! A threshold of [edited] thoughts. 2007-09-20T13:36:07Z WordPress http://editor.muslimpad.com/2007/06/07/good-read-and-good-night/feed/atom/ By: Editor Editor http://editor.muslimpad.com/ http://editor.muslimpad.com/2007/06/07/good-read-and-good-night/#comment-1055 2007-06-15T09:51:27Z 2007-06-15T09:51:27Z Eeks, I forgot to reply to Niqaabis, jazakillahu khair for the lovely quote, sis! But eh I did it over MSN I guess. :P

mar_yoom, wa ‘alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Jazakillahu khair for your kind words! And that you can relate! Lol… I have to stop buying and start reading what I already have. Insha Allah. :)

I’m the same. *chuckle*

Yay! I’ve added you, sis. Look forward to seeing your reads. Gowan then! In the meantime, I shall check out your notes from Eats, Shoots and Leaves! :)

Witness, woohoo! Funny you should mention Lit classes lol. I would’ve thought such classes makes you *want* to read more. Anyhew, nice reading your reads. ;)

But I dunno, I somehow thought maybe with this site, I could be moved to read more. Insha Allah. I’ve even created an “abandoned” shelf to note those books that I left without finishing… And a lot of my books are in the “to-read” list. So what I’m trying to say is, try anyway! I love seeing what others are reading. I know some of my friends read well, but I didn’t know the extent for some of them until now. So it’s really cool.

Up to you eh. *holds knife to back*

I kid.

travellaar, uhh, I’m guessing that’s a snicker of content without a good reads account? I’ll get to you! Speaking of snicker, I do love Snickers Cruncher.

I kind of go through phases of not reading, or not finishing, books and then suddenly get back into them again and so I’m not sure how I’d be at maintaining any list. Although I did just finish Moazzem’s book which I see you’re reading and I give it a big thumbs up (although a big thumbs down to the US and UK).

Plus Saudi kind of sucks when it comes to English reading material. The Islamic books seem to be exclusively published by Dar-us-Salam (I like some of their publications but I like variety too) and the other English books (current affairs, comedy, etc) are often subject to scrutiny and hopeless delays in availability.

Unless of course you’re into romance novels which seem to fill large sections of the shops I’ve wandered around, but I guess that is a result of the culturally stupidly high mahr demands in this country and the resultant extreme difficulty for the youth wanting to marry.

“Al-Qadi ‘Ali ibn Abdul Aziz al-Jurjani said in his couplets: “I never tasted the sweetness of life until, I became a companion of home and book, there is nothing more honourable than knowledge, so I seek in no other an associate, truly the only degradation is in mixing with people, therefore leave them and live nobly and stately.” “
