Malcolm C. Lyons did another translation of Near Eastern folk stories unrelated to the 1001 Nights. It is also under the Penguin Classics label.

The Atlas of Misty Continents
Samarkand

Shame by Salman Rushdie. Legit good book, kind of fantastical in the same vein as Karen Blixen or Murakami.

Conference of the Birds.

>I like my books with a lot of sand
Not all of ME is sandy like Gulf Arab region. Go slit your fucking throat.
Also, Islam is a detestable religion, and all adherents of Abrahamic filth deserve to die without exception. Go develop self-awareness.

>>16724537
Elaborate.

>>16724537
All of the Arabian Peninsula that isn't by the coast is sand.

Woah not cool

>>16724879
No, I don't elaborate for ADHD-ridden zoomers who are incapable of doing the most rudimentary research themselves. I doubt you even read much literature because you are a stupid piece of shit with the illusion of consciousness/self-awareness.

>>16724892
You’re trying way too hard

>>16724898
And you need to actually try instead of being a poser. Do you even read or exert yourself? Why are you too stupid to do the most basic research, huh? It's because you're genetic trash. You descend from an interminable line of peasants. In fact, it is debatable whether you were ever truly born or die. That's how stupid you are, and I sincerely doubt someone like you will ever truly wake up. I don't like Gurdjieff, but he had a point that most people were asleep and much like automatons.

>>16724921
You’re so stupid you don’t even realize I’m not the anon you originally replied to.

You're all the same shit: ADHD-ridden faggots who substitute memes for nuanced thought. You have little to do with the sophisticated writers and philosophers of past Europe, especially if you're American since most of these problems stem from your wretched nation.

>>16724941
Yeah I’m sure your heavy handed profanity being substituted for thought is a line of flight worth following.

>>16724939
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all trash. There is no such thing as good literature from any of these people who make it a formative part of their poetry or literature. Now slit your throat.
Also, it's an easy thing to find such literature if you really wanted to. You just put "Islamic literature", "Christian literature", or whatever in a search, find some websites that list popular writers, look up Amazon and Goodreads reviews, and etc.

Islam is trash. Muhammad was a disheveled warlord and schizophrenic pedophile.
Christianity is trash. Jesus was a rabble-rousing schizophrenic rabbi who was destabilizing the Roman empire with his in-fighting with other detestable Jews.
Judaism is trash. It's just a form of ensuring tribal integrity that has absolutely no sense of wonder outside of tribal preservation.

>>16724974
What are you even responding to in that anons post

>>16724921
Ermmm. But have u done research contrary to YOUR opinions?... Yea... Thought so....

>>16724983
Sorry, I don't respect low-IQ and ignorant trash especially given the retarded way OP was framed. Only good Middle Eastern or Central Asian writers are the anti-Abrahamic ones, which there are aplenty. Also, the land is not mostly sand outside of Arab peninsula.

>>16723717
The Shahnameh is like the Islamic Iliad, a necessary read for all interested

>>16725004
THE SHAHNAMEH IS NOT ISLAMIC. SLIT YOUR GODDAMN THROAT.

Lol no dude, t e Lawrence is the only worthwhile Arabic writer. God how can you be so fucking tasteless?

>>16725038
It's not Islamic, moron. It's preserving Zoroastrian myth, you absolute buffoon. ACTUALLY READ THE BOOKS YOU RECOMMEND.
I am sick and tired of the modern West with its Americanization and ADHD-zoomer faggots. You have nothing to do with the erudite writers of your past anymore. I'm sick and tired of you absolute morons.

I've read a bit of the Shahnameh, and it is very critical of Islam, discourages mixing with Arabs, and argues for preservation of Zoroastrianism: tofu bar to, ey charkh-i gardun, tofu! (spit on your face, oh heavens spit!), which Ferdowsi used as a reference to the Muslim invaders who despoiled Zoroastrianism.

>>16725058
Also, last 1/3rd of Shahnameh is relatively accurate in detailing Sassanian kingly lineage, but the Shahnameh spends no time, or barely even mentions, the Achaemenids.
It's not an Islamic text.

>>16723717
The Alchemist

>>16723717
Kim by Kipling is a great one

Read the pre-islamic Arabian stories such as Mu'allaqat

>>16723717
Islam is a beautiful religion. If I was not born into Christianity I would probably have become Muslim.
