I can still recall my surprise at finding "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis in Jarir - a book that, supposedly in a satirical way, depicts some graphically lurid accounts of sadomasochism and extreme torture.
I can only assume that the book orderer for Jarir, judging from the title, must have thought it was a biography of George W. Bush.
Regards,
John

Well, I guess the book �orderer� of Jarir recommended the above book because he hates women and loves the American Psychological problems Exclamation Crying or Very sad Laughing

Dear 007,
WHAT!!! A male Saudi misogynist???? Bit of a stretch, there, old boy. We all know how much Saudi males respect their womenfolk. Why, they respect them to death.
Regards,
John

Am I reading some of these posts correctly? Some promote book banning and burning?
