A Blog Became a Book

It was around 5 pm, we waited for Nasri Atallah and finally he appeared. He entered with a smiley face, the same face expressions when he was signing his first book in a Pub in Beirut. Nasri Atallah, a blogger, an editor and a writer, was born in London. He finished his high school here in Lebanon then he went back to London. He worked in a private Bank for two years and a half, then he dived into advertising. His father is a journalist, so he came back to Lebanon to arrange a new magazine project that didn't arise.
Nasri chose to start blogging. "I posted what annoys me,"Atallah said. From blogger, to facebook, twitter and flicker, Atallah used the social media networks to say what is in his mind. Atallah was shocked from the thousands of responds he received. "I have lovers and haters," Atallah notified, "but the haters are funny," he added. Nasri Atallah posts for Lebanese who don't live in Lebanon and have an obvious view about Lebanon. "My friends suggested publishing a book," Atallah said. Atallah got lazy about publishing, then he searched for a publisher to start publishing his book and he did it. Atallah published his book "Our Man in Beirut...collected rants" and signed it last week. "A blog became a book," Atallah said loudly, "I will publish a book every year," he added. Nasri Atallah now works as an editor, he edits English novels.
