It's the story of an Egyptian family in the post World War I period, and how their lives are representative of the social/cultural environment of that time. I can't describe the book any better than the Amazon review. It's really wonderful, and I've probably read it half a dozen times already. Side perk: well-rounded women in this period of Egypt are highly regarded. :)

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs is kind of funny. Or since you're doing a road trip thingy, try There's No Toilet Paper on the Road Less Traveled...
