Tales from the Thousand and One Nights

A big mix of stories, with no fear of starting another story within another (Inception, eat our heart out!). Of the stories, some are great, some not so much; some original, some derivative (just a remix of previous plot elements); some long and winding, some finish in little over a page. The pacing can be odd, with several pages devoted to descriptions of new-found wealth whereas major plot elements are crammed into a brief exposition.

All in all an enjoyable read, with interesting peeps into a different culture.
