Frankly speaking, I laugh too much when thinking that youngs outside this country have dreams, for example, to travel all over the world or to buy villas in the most amazing lands, while some of us here dream to establish his own home-library!!!
Wow what a nice topic, and if you want my say, you said the truth.....
In here, the cheapest book price is 600 Lira or 500 Lira, while the same book in US does not go higher than 3 or 6 US, sure there are books cost 20 or 25 USD, and they will be here 5000 Lira at least.
First People in here do not buy niether English nor Arabic books.
Second Even the information of the net and e-book are not the source, but only to save, and if someone interested they print them down on paper and those are so few.
For books I adore these material; my aunt traveled to Toranto and told me that people there read books even when they walk, in trains, in bus, in gardens, and no one looks at the another, not like here, people's most important stuff to see what this does and what that acts.
Yeah for the homy library, my shelfs are growing month after month with books which I feel them like fruits, some classic, some horrible novels, some non-fiction, another murder and thrill.
Stephen King is the god of dreadful eventful novels, and Shakespeak with his complete works is the masterpiece of the whole.
Roula let your library grows day by day, for oneday it will be so big and so fantastic for urbans like us
