Sowing the wind

" for they have sown the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind "
This sentence above quoted from the Old testament , in which the writer John Keay
Starts his book , about 60 years of conflicts and crises in an area , Politically known the Middle east , where the petrol and politics are two sides of a coin , and the people who have sown the Wind are the British and the French People and later on the USA

Who were colonizing the Middle east area , represented in Iraq , Trans-Jordan , Palestine , Lebanon and Syria to dominate over the land resources and Sea transportation in the Middle east , and later on the Oil wells which was vital to
propelling any waged war , and pushing the economy into thriving .

But the peak of events and the core of all conflict in the Middle east was born in 1917
Balfour statement , which has turned a fulfilled promise in 1948 to create a Country
for the Jews of the world in their historic land , Palestine and call it Israel
from that time till now and the region is Unstable , and that is what the writer has manifested in so many places in the book

and that was the wind that they are still reaping.

Some people , especially western thinkers , thinks that John Keay is coming from the school that says , "It's all our fault" , why not this is absolutely true if they weren't there , nothing from this would have happened , and maybe the world would

be less terrorizing than now .

easily the woman who made him exist

So he followed his obsession , till his consistent work of Investigation led him
to the place she was living In , It is a small house in the Steppes of Beautiful
Peaceful Kazakhstan .

Back to Coelho in Eleven Minutes

at this time ...and after such a thrilling Story I was looking for a different kind

of amazement in reading , a more passionate , life story , that's more near to be fact

than fiction , Paulo Coelho's Eleven minutes , was the one , It's a true story of a Girl

who pursued her dreams to gain money to fulfil her little humble dreams of having a house and taking care of her mother , and have secure old age .

Pursuing her dreams passionately she was trapped into a man whom she thought he is her saviour , In which she will soon discover how he tricked her into prostitution and

very far away from her Original country , she started her new life in Switzerland
she started to send good sums of money to her family in Brazil

Feeding them lies , about her great position and life there , eventually this girl
Grows to be a professional Prostitute , desired by all clients of the place she

was working in , but she was only selling her body , not her soul , except to some people who knew he soul , and who treated like she always desired to be , the painter

whom he loved her and whom she gave the same love , gave birth to her new life again
and was able to touch her soul and take her back to normal life .

the 2nd Book I read

It was also a Novel , but this one was more thrilling experience , despite the fact

That it's less popular book , It is for Dan Brown the man who wrote the Davinci Code

the Ultimate best-seller of our time , Deception Point the name of the Novel

When a new NASA satellite spots evidence of an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory...a victory that has profound implications for U.S. space policy and the impending presidential election. With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy. But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power broker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, their only hope for survival is to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all. In his most thrilling novel to date, bestselling author Dan Brown transports readers from the ultrasecret National Reconnaissance Office to the towering ice shelves of the Arctic Circle, and back again to the hallways of power inside the West Wing. Heralded for masterfully intermingling science, history, and politics in his critically acclaimed thriller Angels & Demons, Brown has crafted another novel in which nothing is as it seems -- and behind every corner is a stunning surprise. Deception Point is pulse-pounding fiction at its best

The First Book I read

I have read so many part of Books before but I don't remember I was having the patience

to sit and read the whole Book , reading doesn't come easy , but when It comes It can

easily be maintained by Passion ....and my passion started with Paulo Coelho bestseller

the Alchemist , the books was a suggestion from a Hungarian friend of mine Veronika

Jonas , she told me , " Fadi , this book you must read " , all of a sudden I asked what 's
the plot of the Book , she said " read it , and you'll know" , so my next visit to a nearest book store in Hungary I bought and start reading it , I felt Joy , and I read
In a matter of 3 days.

after that I started searching for other books to read , the 2nd book was deception point by Dan Brown , It was a new experience for me , cause it let me live a page
turner type of novels , which you can't wait to turn the page.

the Alchemist

Every few decades a book is published that influences the life of its readers forever. Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist is such a book which has already achieved the status of a modern classic".
"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation."
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired millions of delighted readers around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who ventures from his homeland in Spain to North Africa in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a beautiful, young gypsy woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is or if Santiago can surmount the obstacles along the way through the desert. But what starts out as a boyish adventure to discover exotic places and worldly wealth turns into a quest for the treasures only found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, Santiago's story is an eternal testament to following our dreams and listening to our hearts.

It was born in Europe...

The habit of reading is one of the habits that was Instilled In me long time ago

But it didn't took It's way into progress Unless I visited Italy , In which I saw

People buying books almost like bread in Arab countries!! , I was amazed and I thought

and said to myself why don't we read like they are doing, Then I found the answer simply cause

Our people don't have the Luxury of buying books , or even the publishers are not finding

any successful means to promote any new book except religious in here , but that shock

was not enough to awaken my senses , the other shock which pushed into reading and buying books , spending more money on them was my visit to Hungary

there I was amazed by the Hungarian people , those who are having a unique language

which no other people in the world use are no more than 10 million people are having

more than five thousand 5000 Public libraries and a strong translation movement

they produce books into their language , which is more successful than the Original

this is not just an Ordinary imitative translation but a recreation of the book essence

That's what Inspired me into reading , I still don't consider my self a bookworm

But I wish I could be , The problem of reading books Is that you don't realize how

Much Information you have absorbed till you go into a discussion with the others

so to discuss myself into the Books I have read and during reading It I'm going to

Blog them on this website , cause most of the times It's just frustrating that you can't find somebody to discuss what you have read

or to encourage you into reading a certain title which he genuinely attracted his or her attention.
