Recently Read

In addition to the History of salt book I mentioned previously, here are some other books I read recently, in the clinic.
1- The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho: a phlosophical story (as all Coelho's stories are) in Andalusia about a guy who had a dream about a fortune waiting for him in Egypt. As events lead him to make his journey he faces lots of risks and adventures only to find out that his real treasure (personal legacy as author liked to call it) is back home. i.e. it is possible that what you want is near you, but that shouldn't keep you back from going all the way to realize that.

2- Devil and Miss Prym by Paolo Coelho (again): a novel about the good and evil (of course a philosophical one too) residing in each of us, and the fights they may go through when faced by a new challenge or event in life. The novel takes place in a very rural village in Europe.

3- مصارعو الثيران من قرية فاسيوكوفكا لـِ فيسفولود نيستايكو: طبعاً هذه القصة ليست جديدة وليست المرة الأولى التي أقرأها. وهي على فكرة قصة أطفال عن صبيين أوكرانيين ومغامراتهما في القرية وكييف. وهي، بحسب رأيي، من أكثر الكتب إضحاكاً وتسلية. وأعتقد أني سأواظب على قراءتها سنوياُ على الأقل. وأظن أن الدكتور أدونيس يوافقني الرأي إن كانت ذاكرتي لا تزال طرية

Coming soon other things that are going to be read too.
