I just finished a trilogy. I haven’t read books this good in a very long time. Unlike books that touch you because of suspense, suffering, or love – these books touched me because they seemed to speak of our life itself. Birth, death, health, sickness, love, faith, cheating, drinking... I’m talking about the Cairo trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz.
