Mid East Book Blog Opening Day!

The Mid East Book Blog is an uncensored site dedicated to books and publications in English on the Middle East Region including the countries of north Africa. Formal and informal commentary on all aspects of book or magazine publishing in this region is invited. We're interested in "What I'm reading now..." as well as formal reviews. There is no limitation (other than the regional one) on topics, but since I'm primarily interested in literature and politics, these subjects will probably dominate. Contributors may be authors or readers.
