|
|
I am nearly finished a really interesting book called:
The Carpet Wars by Christopher Kremmer
It is about a carpet loving journo who travelled extensively in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Turkish Republics in the nineties.
Possible quiz question The word Turk comes from Tu`kiu-which was the name given by God knows who to the tribes on the far west of China. |

That's not a very good question. You gave the answer |

| I can recommend 'Shibumi' by Joseph Trevian. It doesn't mention Turkey once. |

| I can recommend Suadiye as a very nice place to live. |
