Musk, Hashish and Blood by Hector France. It's a autobiographical account of Mr. France's time in the Middle East and North Africa in the late 1800's. He spent several years traveling (Very wealthy) and documenting the different customs and ways of life across the entirety of 'Arabia.'

The big surprise is how much I'm learning about my own prejudices by the language he uses to describe his hosts. Also, as a cannabis enthusiast I really want to try the hash he describes because it sounds nothing like the THC concentrates I've experienced here in the states.
