A great book I read recently was "Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al MAdinah & Mecca "- Richard Burton. Truly intriguing read, he is one of very few non-muslims to have done pilgrimage (undercover obviously) - he went in 1853 to mecca and medina and has in detail recorded his experiences during the journey. He successfully posed as a wandering dervish, gained admittance to holy kaabah and the raudha of the Prophet (Sallallah-ho-alaihi-wassalam). Read and see for yourself.
Another good book is the "Memories of the luminous City (Medina Munnawarah)" written by Dr Khalid Muhammed Hamid - its like a colour picture book with details of all the historical sites in Medina, Masjid Nabvi etc and narritive underneath the pictures explaining what everything is. I picked it up in Medina - very useful as you know what everything is when you visit Medina.

I am a bookworm. My favorite kitab other than the glorious Quran is: Commanders Of The Muslim Army(Among the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) )
By:Mahmood Ahmad Ghadanfar
It's a great book and goes into detali.
So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
