Interesting book on Arabic sweets, with translation of historical recipes and modern adaptations side by side. Unfortunately, the photographs in the middle of the book are of really low quality.
User Profile
I read a wide variety books. Favorite fiction is magical realism and weird stuff. I do read bad bestsellers just to see what is popular. In non-fiction I read books on management and economics for work, and on history, different countries, and religion for leisure. My ratings tend to be on the critical side.

Moritz finished reading Patasana by Ahmet Ümit
Like most Ümit stories, this is a mystery connected to Turkish history and culture. In this regard, there is a lot of interesting stuff, intertwined with ancient Hittite plates that serve as chapter breaks. The murder mystery itself is - as often in his books - kind of silly and underwhelming.

Moritz finished reading Egypt: a short history by Robert L. Tignor
Very good overview of Egyptian history, though published right during the Arab spring, so the end is a bit speculative. Also there are a couple of repetitions. Otherwise, I greatly enjoyed this book and finally understand Egyptian history with all it's twists and turns.
