In Baghdad, a man named Ali al-Moussawi turned his van into a mobile bookshop and makes up to $4,000 a month as he sells books around the city. His bookshop has done well and with his success, he hired four people to help him.
Al-Moussawi said that it took him nine months to achieve his idea and he hopes that it will bring people’s attention to and promote reading. He said that he wants to develop his bookshop and ‘improve its current shape’.
As he moves his van, he changes the books that are on display. This is because the city is still divided and in Sunni areas, the books on Saddam Hussein are still popular.
My opinion
I've chosen this news because when I saw the title of this piece of news, it kept my atention and I wanted to know about it. So, related to this news, I've never heard about something like this before. I mean, I have seen people selling food in vans, but nothing to do with books. I think it's a very good idea to sell books in a van which goes around the city. It beneffits everybody: the owner of the books, Al-Moussawi, earns lots f money and it's also a good point for those who enjoy reading. Instead of walking to "the library", "the library" comes to you!
I don't know if someoe had already done this lucrative activity before the arabic man did, but I'm 100% sure that he has find a job in which he earns a lot of money and also enjoys his job.
In this case, I've learnt two new words: bookworm (a person who enjoys books) and Sunni (a religious group within Islam)
