I knew something about the history of Jewish people in southern Spain, but I didn't know the name of the region. Prior to the creation of the State of Israel, and the first of the Arab/Israeli wars, there were very large Jewish populations in many Arab countries. As I have mentioned before, some of my ancestors are Jewish. My paternal family name was once Turkat, which basically translates as "the Turk". This name dates back about 300 years to the time that my ancestors spent living in Turkey. Later they immigrated to Russia and Ukraine. I know that Egypt, Iraq, and Iran all had very large Jewish communities that date back many centuries. Indeed, the Iranian Jews can trace their ancestry all the way back to the Persian Emperor Cyrus the Great who freed them from slavery in ancient Babylonia. This community is probably the most ancient group of Jews. They have lived in Iran for more than 2500 years. Even today, at least 30,000 Jews remain in Iran, however, their lives have been made more difficult by the Islamic Revolution. Anyway, if anyone is interested, check out this link which discusses the history of Jews in Arab countries: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jew" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jew</a> Anarki,

The last few have been almost cartoonish. His best were the first ones. And no, I don't care at all for the ones he writes with someone else. I can't help but wonder sometimes if Khaled Sheikh Mohammed isn't a Clancy fan. The airplane plot is right out of a Clancy novel.

Reaper Man Lords and Ladies Men at Arms Feet of Clay Hogfather Jingo Night Watch Thud! It's a series you can enter at any point, but of course you can see characters evolve and events build up on each other, so even if you can understand the later books without having read the older ones it'd still be advisable to start "early", like with "Pyramids", or "Guards!

Mel,

I tried reading the first couple of pages in the first Harry Potter book and didn’t like it. But I do enjoy the movies. I love the talking hat. :)

Only at aNarki's it only cuts off half of the right row of actor photos for me...... if I look at their pages while using my bookmark sidebar in Opera. (Which I use of course while doing my blog round without wanting to switch it on or off.) If I'm looking at the pages in full screen they're fine. Still, they shouldn't do that. They should fit the display size. A case of bad coding in the wonderful new Google Blogger? *smirks* No, it’s not just you.

The idea is that if one is not afraid to "fly", one has overcome such inhibitions. Mark my words, Harry Potter will be riding a Nimbus 9000 Stratocruiser in the next movie!! :D Anarki, I haven’t actually read Fear of Flying (I learned of the book while studying psychology), however, I do applaud your well-readness! :) As I recall, the title is suggestive of sexual inhibition.
