Saudi Arabia
None
Half Past Ten in the Afternoon
Much of this book is a record of the time the author spent between 1965 and 1970 as an English teacher in Aneiza a provincial town in central Saudi Arabia. In an entertaining series of anecdotes, he describes the daily life and customs of its people, his relations with colleagues and students at the local secondary school, and the events leading up to his removal from the town he had come to regard as home, his transfer to Riyadh, and final departure from the country. In the 1960s Aneiza was still living partly in the age of Charles Doughty, the 19th-century explorer who stayed there for some weeks in the 1870s, and architecturally the town had changed little over the intervening deca...

Eccentricity
Eccentricity is a collection of poems written by Asad Aziz, a young poet, and an engineer by profession. He wrote his first few lines during his college days and has written all his poems in span of seven years. His poems are a constellation of the various aspects of life. Poetry that showcases the different colors of life. The notion of first love and the anguish of heartbreak reminds you of the tales of Jane Austen. College-day compositions and modern poems create a territory with starry sky and the strumming of guitars draw you into the world of Kurt Cobain, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. Proximity to nature and love for God make an entrance in the dimensions of spirituality through the likes of Buddha, Kabir, and Rumi. The mysteries of stars, galaxies and the universe have inspired the young soul. The short and crisp poems will bewitch you.
