I'm 1/4 through it, and also enjoying it. It's deep and philosophical, with a great sense of humor. But hey! Turkey's supposed to be an Islamic country, how come they drink alcohol, and flirt, and some woman shows "up to the bikini line" What bikini? Weren´t bkinis invented in the 1950's? And could people divorce? All this has surprised me.
