@Ridvan:

I think that I am probably better in English than Yilmaz Kemal, and Erhan is much better than both of us. Since Erhan is not around I continue on writing in English. Or at least try to continue.

But I must add that this is not a one man work. The aim of the site is collabrate work. I am only one person and how much I can do by myself. Why don’t you spare 10 minutes of your day and start writing about books?

We both now that you are much better in reading and writing than all of us

I also would like to invite and encourage Ekin again to share his reviews with us. He is busy so it will still take time.

Writing English reviews on Turkish literature is a good idea indeed. You should really consider this Rahim. You also should encourage Yilmaz Kemal on this, since he is number two in English among our friends
(for those who could have an false opinion: Number one is, and will be Erhan Basri)

you can write about the books of Turkish authors for the foreign visitors? i think, this will be a good way for the presentation of Turkish literature.

I don’t think it will be a problem because I will probably write in both languages for some books.

Anyway, why don’t you write one as well. It’s been a long time you have written here

So, now you’ve started writing in English as well.
Isn’t this unfair to your readers, not in command of English, but would like to read about the book reviewed not in their native tongue?
