I recommend The Crisis of Islam (Holy War and Unholy Terror), by Bernard Lewis. Nonfiction. Very concise read. Informative.
Also enjoyed The Road to Cana, by Anne Rice. Follow on to Out of Egypt. Not for everyone. Fictional account of the life of Jesus (Yes, I know several Planeteers think all accounts of Jesus are fictional...save your posts.)
