Well for the Crusader Kings II Muslim expansion, this book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1416567623/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Unfortunately it's not released until later this summer.

Not bad.

If you want to read a primary source by one of the main Muslim historians of the 14th century, I suggest The Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun. Pretty fun read and not too dry. Also, you can typically find it cheap!

If you want something earlier than August on the Caliphs, this one by Amira K. Bennison looks pretty good too!

This one also sounds fun - The Great Arab Conquests: How the Spread of Islam Changed the World We Live In!

http://www.amazon.com/The-Great-Arab-Conquests-Changed/dp/0306817403/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340224920&sr=1-1

The problem with Amazon is that you continue to find great books as you go!

Right now I am reading up on Medieval Cities for a class I am teaching. If interested, I can give some books.

Seriously people, the movie stars Martin Lawrence. How can it be any good?!

Dunno. I think you're the only one here who's:

a) actually seen it.

or

b) willing to admit to the fact.

Gus just needs something more historically accurate.  While Martin Lawrence's attempt was commendable in that respect, perhaps this is a better specimen to put 'ole Gussy "in the mood".



I wonder why Heathcliff hasn't been doing any movies lately?

Impossible to beat.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Trainers? Crazytalk. Thanks for those links SoM...I've been eyeing that last one you posted for a while.

When is the CKII expansion due out again?
