Measuring Up? Or Down?

May 4, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Thanks to facebook, we can now know what books the Lebanese “Elite” read, and even better, compare them to the favorites of Harvard and Oxford..

Frankly, I never understood why The Alchemist is so popular in Lebanon, but to actually have 11-minutes up there, TWICE, is just too much.
Can any of you reach some sort of conclusion from the above comparison?
