"THE Middle East has a bad reputation when it comes to books; nowhere else do so few people read them."
Absolutely but this is changing.
"...The most elegant contribution to the new canon comes from Alaa al-Aswany, author of “The Yacoubian Building”, a bestselling novel from 2002....."
Brave & InSightful People like Mr Al-Aswany, have been at it-for a while now, in their Sisyphean-Task of trying to Wake-Up the People/Sheeple!
The TRUTH shall be Revealed, thanks to the Al-Aswanys of the World!!
I Watched the "Building" Movie, but I am yet to Read the Book!!!
The Pen, is Truly Mightier than the Sword........

Egypt has the opportunity to reconstruct itself in many ways. One of the most interesting would be if some future minded leaders would recognize the economic plght of both Egypt and its "ally" Gaza. The way is open for men of good will to seek peace,not war,and look for Economic developement. One plan is outlined in http://www.fourponds.org. It is noncommercial and freely available offering a route to developing Gaza,Sinai, Negev and Jordan.
