Status Updates From Turkish Awakening

Osti com m’ha agradat el primer capitol. El llibreter d’Estambul a qui li vaig comprar em va dir que s’en alegrava molt d q el comprés perq estava molt bé per entendre una mica el q passa al pais. Contenta!!!!

Next chapter is about education

The next chapter was about business. I didn't know so many employees work off the books, so that the company can save on paying social security.

Chapter 5 was on transvestites and prostitution. Chapter 6 was on TV series.

Chapter four was really good. The secular people can be paranoid by the religious folks. Understandably when they see rights eroding right in front of their eyes. For the majority of religious folks, religion is just a natural part of life. They don't understand the manipulation. And I liked the part that actually deep rooted patriarchy is more harmful and difficult than religion itself.

Easy reading. But the author comes across rather judgmental and simplistic. Very different from the Orhan Pamuk and Thomas F. Madden books. But I think this will be an easy read. Just need to take it with a grain of salt.
