       That is an easy one for my persona.  I would be enriching myself
  with,"The Koran", during the day.  And at night I would read that wonderful
  instuctional book from India. The one I hide deep in my saddle bags. Has
  something to do with Karma. Then if time allows, I would indulge in reading
  notebooks on navigation and astronomy.  Two subjects where the arabic world
  excells.  Which is an interesting catch 22.  The Arab world learned to
  navigate, from living in the trackless desert.  The stars being your only
  guide.  But , when it comes the sea.  The boats are far from durable, in
  fact they are quite flimsy.  The arabic world had a major lack of metal to
  spare for nails.  So the boats were sewn together.  Little off subject, but
  something I wanted to share.    Thats why when, "Little Brother" ,goes
  seafaring he calls upon his ,Norse comrads, for passage.  Other than that,
  very few literary options avalible in the middle east around 1180.

     Most of our time is spent running up and down the mediterranean coast,
  fighting off Crusaders.  Such is the life as a horse archer in  Saladins
  army.
