Reading has never been so exciting: Book Cafes in Baku

Reading is never out of fashion. Our future depends on libraries, reading, and fantasy. Fans of printed literature were, are and will be at least for the next few decades. Sometimes all we want is a silence, tranquillity and aromatic coffee. Sitting next to a large window with a cup of coffee and reading a book, has never been so exciting. In the past, the only Book Cafe in Baku was the network of Ali and Nino. Today, there are lots of Book Cafes in Baku, which I will introduce in this article.
