Think the Middle East is confusing? Read this entertaining book and find out how right you are! Tony Horwitz spent 2 years living in Cairo, Egypt and freelancing as a journalist throughout the Middle East. His observations of the contradictions and absurdities of life in that region of the world are both funny and insightful. I also found the book a little depressing because it highlights the cultural gulf between the Arab world and the Western world - one that we are not likely to bridge.
