Todavía no leí los libros de Orhan Pamuk, así que lo único que puedo decir es: ¡Qué lindo es!

He visto las fotos de todos los escritores que ganaron el Premio Nobel de Literatura y él me parece el más atractivo de todos: tiene unos ojos azules muy risueños y una sonrisa encantadora, sobre todo en el minuto 1:23. Los escritores suelen ser muy serios y depresivos, pero Orhan es muy risueño y agradable.

A muchas personas no les gusta él, pero a mí sí. Voy a leer sus libros.

Controversy is discursive when analyzing historical events since it's worn in the dirty pages of politics. Accusing without adequate arguments is just like an atomic bomb.

@gaeokm41 talk for yourself.

Why traitor? I've read Istanbul, Memories of the City, it's a beautiful book. I've been to Istanbul, love that city and want to get back as soon as possible again. you should be proud of somebody who tells truth and won a Nobel prize.

We Turks hate this self-hating traitor!

@gommodor saying nothing?! you don't seem to have read any of his books!

When will they offer it to Pynchon? Ever? I want to see him refuse it.
