Shouldn't the Quoran be on the top of this picture, kuffar?

Not sure if appropriate since I haven’t read it yet but Edward Said's Orientalism seems like a good introduction the region.
PS: for those who had, is it worth the time?

>seems like a good introduction to the region
absolutely not. Said's book is a critique of the study of the history of Islam, not a history of Islam and not a study of the history of Islam. It's a very specific and academic book, difficult to read, and contains lots of untranslated german/french passages.
It's only worth reading if you're already familiar with folks like Bernard Lewis, Foucault, colonial studies up to the 70s, the history of scholarship of the orient etc. ("Islam in History" is a good little volume with essays on the subject)
"Lawrence In Arabia" by Scott Anderson is a really well written journalistic text on the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, told through the lens of TE Lawrence's story (which is outrageously fascinating).
For Israel-Palestine try Finkelstein's Image and Reality of the Israel Palestine Conflict or Benny Morris's Righteous Victims.

Go to Columbia. The university sucks Said's dick. I think he's a meme anti-Semite who obsessed over his own minority status. He was literally the SJW of his time
>For Israel-Palestine try Finkelstein's Image and Reality of the Israel Palestine Conflict or Benny Morris's Righteous Victims.
He asked for information about Islam, not misinformation written BY muslims, senpai

Is there one for Hinduism or Buddhism? Or Zoroastrian...
