Retired Turkish teacher lives with 30,000 books at home

For a retired teacher, the expression “life's an open book” takes on new meaning. Dursun Çiçek, who lives in Turkey's central city of Kayseri, has around 30,000 books in his home. His love of books started in his childhood when he was in primary school when he sought to emulate his older brothers in reading books and not before long it became a habit. He then started buying books with every penny he earned for many years. The 54-year-old has now collected 30,000 books in his personal library.
