[quote=Anonymous]For a book club, I would recommend G. Willow Wilson's The Butterfly Mosque. For a more academic book, try Carl Ernst's Following Muhammad. Jon Esposito (at Georgetown) also writes fairly accessible books about Islam for the non-academic audience. I would not recommend simply reading the Qur'an without some guidance. It can be a little boring, and the translations are not great. You might want to try Michael Sell's book, Approaching the Qur'an, though, which has a selection of passages from the Qur'an and analysis.[/quote]
