Hey the way I see it is that books are not a bad addiction to have! And it's not hoarding if it's books. I have a mug that says so so it must be true.;)

Last Train to Istanbul is quite interesting - at least, I found it to be so. I really knew nothing about Turkey during WWII. And this book was interesting too because of a "mixed marriage" between a Muslim and a Jew. There were many painfully difficult things to read however - as is always the case with the Nazis and their treatment of the Jews.
