Don't get fooled! Nasreen Akhtar's memoir isn't about going fishing, but about her rocky road trip to find love.
Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet) is a witty story of an ordinary British Muslim woman who set out to find Mr. Right, as the title indicates, using the Internet!
I won't use philosophical words or delve too deep into the points i want to get across concerning this book, but I'll be simple and frank!
In not so many words, Akhtar's book is a must read because it's easy and fun.
What also makes reading Catch a Fish from the Sea a heartfelt experience is the honesty of Akhtar.
Her story is a new kind of adventure that's worth following. It gives an insight to the British Pakistani community and it's social and cultural beliefs, that many have no idea about.

Palestinian author Anwar Hamed's latest book 'Shahrazad Picks Zaatar in Anabta' isn't a story of your average Jane, but a story of the survival of many anti-heroes reflected in the struggle of 'Shahrazad'.
The novel is originally written in Hungarian! Don't be astonished, for Hamed chose to write in this foreign language to give the story a different taste through Hungarian terms and Hungarian metaphors.
Hamed wrote this novel back in 2004 but translated it into Arabic himself just recently, bringing it back from the West to its more familiar place; home in the fields of TulKarem.
The translation of this novel isn't merely transforming it into Arabic, but a recreation of the whole story and rebirth of the character.

We are all familiar with the romantic fiction books known as Mills and Boon.
These books started out in 1908, and afterwards Harlequin books, a Canadian company began to buy the rights in 1949.
According to some literary critics, these books are only read by "desperate housewives with one brain cell". the thing is not only men that sneer at such books and their readers but many women do as well. I was one of those to laugh at such books and dismiss them as trivial. then I began to notice that many women read them, of different classes and conditions of society.
