Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. - Charles William Eliot

Which book/s are you all currently reading?

And are there any good stores apart from Jarir where they sell books? Hardly know any place?

Nice experience.. you gotta know the streets very well to reach them... The standing babas have vowed never to sit... and watching them was like, "Geez!"..

Do search for 'Standing Babas' on Youtube..You'll get a few videos there...

Very few bookstores in town.

I'm reading John Long's The Rise of Fishes: 500 Million Years of Evolution.
