Just finished The Last Life by Claire Messud, story about an American expat woman and her children in France (I read it in Lebanon, which helped me cope), and am currently in the middle of the great memoir, An Invitation to Laughter: A Lebanese Anthropologist in the Arab World.
I am also plodding through a rather slow book, The Gospel of Judas by Simon Mawer. It's the first novel in a long time that I don't think I'll finish.
