This book starts its journey with BookCrossing from Delphi, Greece
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" A guide to understanding the Greeks which takes an insightful, irreverent look at their character and attitudes.
Xenophobia: an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable. Xenophobe's Guides: an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia.
Individuality is the chief feature that characterizes the Greeks, which precludes any attempt to box and label them as a people. After that comes their temperament which flourishes uninhibited throughout their waking hours. This is probably why the ancient sages saw fit to carve their maxims "Nothing in excess" and "Know thyself" on the portals of the Delphic Oracle in an attempt to persuade their fellow Greeks to curb their emotions—they were not heeded then any more than they are now. "

This was a funny little book. Often spot on and accurate but sometimes it felt somehow dated.
It's hard to catch and explain common characteristics and psyche of an entire nation in a slim booklet anyway...

The Xenophobe's Guide to the Greeks got itchy feet and is now travelling to Finland. There it will meet Soozreader who chose it through the Zoom International BC Unconvention 2021 Book Buffet and then... Who knows?

Good Luck little book and Don't forget to write your news from time to time!

Thank you so much for this book, I look forward to reading it!

I thought this was quite interesting, thank you for sharing! Back in April 2020, what now seems such a long time ago, we were supposed to travel to Crete for holidays but that obviously did not happen… I hope that someday in the future I will again be able to travel to somewhere in Greece with this new insight provided by the booklet :)

The book is looking for a new reader from the meetup in Kuopio.

No takers at the meetup so the book is still with me.

I will pass on the book to the next reader in the meetup in Jyväskylä. Happy reading!

Μου αρέσει πολύ ή Ελλάδα :D! So I really like to read this little book, even if the English language isn´t my best language. I hope, I could travel to Greece next year again! Delphi is one of the best places in this lovely country.
