Season of Migration to the North is about a brilliant muslim orphan who moves to London and drinks the west. Hilarity ensues.

It's "non-sexual" in that Cara is John's cuckquean and knows her role as the witness to John and his many other lovers. Maybe someday he'll let her in, who knows ? The possibilities are endless.

The philosophers of the Golden age were particularly affected by Aristotle for some reason. Very underrated, all of them, although most of them were better commentators or scientists than philosophers.

Alhazen first proposed the law of inertia, but of course, newton gets the credit.

Well, maybe he isn't the best fiction writer out there but his autobiography is a pretty good read. Plus he contributed a lot to Arabic literary critique, and most of that was based on western influences.

Ibn Sina is monumental. Aquinas mentions him something like 400 times in the summa.
