Can anyone recommend some books (without explicit sex scenes)?

At the moment I've been reading old crime novels. I read Gullivers Travels and some George Orwell books.
 
:sl:

How about Agatha Christie and then there was none. This is a very good book.

Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Soldier boys traveling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Soldier boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Soldier boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Soldier boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Soldier boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Soldier boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two Little Soldier boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Soldier boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

And Then There Were None is indeed a very good one. So is The ABC Murders. My favorite is Three Blind Mice.

You could always read Dickens. I've read only a few of his books myself but I find it hard to imagine any of the ones I haven't perused containing explicit sex scenes.
 
Is Agatha Christie really good? Ok I'll look into it.

I've read Hard Times by Dickens and it wasn't really my cup of tea. The language was also difficult for me to take in. Are his other books any better?
 
go with old classics they never really contain explicit sex scences like The Man in the Iron Mask, The 3 Musketeers (i have no clue how to spell that..), The Count of Monte Cristo, Moby Dick, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Farewell to Arms,...Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, maybe try reading some short stories by Edgar Allen Poe as well.

If you're interested in short "childrens books"; try the "Mr Men" series. Simple, clean fiction.

I was gona suggest catherine cookson, but then realised your a bloke. one good book i can recommend is the alchemist by paulo coelho.
 
and if you like "the alchemist" you will also certainly enjoy "one hundred years of solitude" - gabriel garcia marquez.
 
Just so you guys know, I ordered "And then there was none" from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it with a hot tea on these cold winter nights!

I've heard of The Alchemist. I'll look into both of them inshallah.
 
there are lots of books that don't contain explicit sex scenes. i read one book by Tom Clancy that didn't contain any sex scenes so you might want to check out his books.
 
Here's another good Christie for you: The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

My mother recommends Three Blind Mice as much as I do, and says you should also read A Murder is Announced and The Moving Finger.
 
I read "And then there was none". Good book! I love the mystery and didn't see the end coming.
 
Yeah Jazakallahukhairun for the recommendation. Sometimes a good book is necessary - stops my mind from wandering around too much!
 
salaam brother -
i can recommend a few but they may be considered more books for sisters - love in a headscarf, does my head look big in this ( which i'm waiting on amazon for ) .... on the bread of angels ... i recommend that to everyone .... and the butterfly mosque.

question ( stupid prolly ) but ... there's no ban on reading books by men if your female and vice versa... is there? ban probably wrong word... harem ??

Walaikum Salaam,

I read the synopsis for some of these books and they do sound girly. No offense! However, I think these could be a good gift for my sisters.
