I'm reading https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Enlightenment-Central-Conquest-Tamerlane/dp/0691165858 (The Lost Enlightenment; Central Asia's golden age). Fascinating book and reinforces my view that the history we teach our children is ridiculously Eurocentric.
I never heard of the city of Myra which, in the 12th century was the biggest city in the world. At the time London had a population of 18,000. Myra had a population on a half a million.

The Kite RunnerI've just run out of books to read and I cant find the old thread with book recommendations so I'm just looking for some thoughts from other posters.
I don't like chick-lit and in this case I don't want non fiction. Previous books that I've loved for A thousand Splendid Suns or the Bookseller of Kabul and although they're not particularly good books, I love the pageturner quality of crime or suspense like Dan Brown. Any thoughts?
