Kullu Tamam has an average rating of 3.5 stars on Goodreads. Somebody said there that it has a lot of mistakes, and someone on Amazon said it's good if you're more comfortable reading transliterations in Roman script than in Arabic script. I think I'd probably go with Kalaam Gamiil. Of course, this is just my guess, though.

Talha wrote:Likewise Schulz gives مخزن along with محل and دكان for "shop". The last two I'm familiar with but the first I've always thought of as "warehouse" or "storage".
I guess these terms differ from region to region.

Anyway, he got to learn Arabic and even literary Arabic.
So my grandmother got to tell me yesterday that the last word he ever said just before dying was "مكتوب" => Mektub
Can anyone give me a signification for that...? I think it's something like "Destiny", or "it was written"...
