[left]Hello everyone…. Yesterday I was in Damascus for the sake of searching books and buying some in order to have references for our study… the trip was so successful and of course anyone will be fascinated by everything in Damascus, but I contemplated in some matters and found that: First, I wonder why here in Homs, there is not that good market of books!!! Why all good and wonderful books are in Damascus??? I know that it is the Capital, but Homs is also a big city and deserves to have such a market!! Are Homsi people not interested in buying and reading books??? Once I asked a Homsi library owner, and he answered me that no one still in need to books here!! Are we really like this????? I know that the net lets us have an access to many educational sites and to have many and different information, but I think that the book is still another world, don't you think so??? I'm sure that even the Europeans those who invent technologies do not leave books!! I'm sure that those books are the sources of their inventions!!! Second, I know that books are expensive everywhere….. but not to this extent!!!! Yesterday I felt that some libraries won't let us buy anything, as if they say to us look, see how many books we have, but don't buy anything!!!! I think that libraries here are for trade only!! Not to help others be educated easily!! I'm not saying that they must sell books for free, but I think that if prices are more reasonable, then all people will buy books without thinking too much about his/her financial ability!!!! 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!!![/left] |

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 ![]() |

Well, the whole subject has been discussed for many times, but in vain. I think, not only the people of Homs, but all Syrians have this lack of education due to the disfunction of the educational system in this country. However, people in most of the civilized countries were raised with books in their hands. So, wherever you go, you find them just read and educate themselves. So this lack of education is not because of the non-ability of buying books, but it's because of the failure of our educational system |

yes that's true and I said that here books are for trade not for making us enjoy being educated....[/left]
