Why I chose "The Wink of the Mona Lisa" :P?


As I walked by the shelves in Jareer and scanned the books, my eyes roamed around for a book that was both interesting, light, and something we can all connect to. I wanted each of us to be able to learn different lessons from the book, but at the same time not "yawn" their way through it. ... .


To be quite honest I was opting for non-fiction- a very interesting true story - but the ones that caught my interest were more like "heavy reading material", one was "Three Cups of Tea" which is about a man's unsuccessful attempt to climb one of the highest peaks in the world only to be sheltered away in a small Pakistani village where he was nursed back to health after falling ill. He then fell in love with the people and promised to build them schools, and from that time til now he has built 50 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.




I don't know about you guys but the idea is truly inspiring, don't you think?!


Anyway back to the current book I have to admit I haven't read a page O_o I know I should feel guilty but I promise to do so this week :D until then I hope that you guys are "eating out the pages of the book from the interest" lol if not don't shoot me ! Wallah it's hard to find 9 copies of books, next time im definelty ordering online!


Laterz!
