    Halal fiction

    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.

    Re: Halal fiction



    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.

    Re: Halal fiction

    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.

    Re: Halal fiction

    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?

    Re: Halal fiction

    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.

    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!

    Re: Halal fiction

    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.

    Re: Halal fiction

    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.

    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.
