I can not be happy enough to make an announcement today. At HOMETOWN, we are letting our friends in Lahore borrow books from us. These are the books which have changed our lives, and are helping us live a better life each day.
Why we are doing this? The answer is simple: We are trying to live up to our dreams, and we are trying to return the favours have been given.

So we are taking this small step, if you live in Lahore then you can borrow a book from Hometown, keep it for certain days and then return back. We are starting with two books at the moment.
The best part is, these two books are amazingly interesting, mind blowing and have stories in them. Which are solely written to make people linchpin, and help them deliver happiness.
Let me breifly introduce you about them:
1. LINCHPIN by Seth Godin
It is probably the best book of remarkable Seth Godin. Who is no doubt a gift from heaven to earth. He asks this simple question, 'Are you indispensable?
The books starts with the line, 'You Are a Genius' and then Seth takes us through how we react to change, opportunities and life in general. What apart artists from average workers. It is a book which will push you to make a clear choice.
He would end you with a question like, 'are you going to invest your heart and soul into something that's important or waste it selling something you're not proud of?'
2. DELIVERING HAPPINESS by Tony Hsieh
Two line description of the comic book is:
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh shares the different lessons he has learned in business and life, from starting a worm farm to running a pizza business; through LinkExchange (acquired by Microsoft for $265 million), Zappos (acquired by Amazon for over $1 billion in stock), and more.
Let's dig the 'More' I first read about Zappos in 2009, and since then I have been admirer to the company's core value and inspiring CEO. And then how interesting that is that, I and Sidra too got into building an online store of shoe. Truth is that many of the good things we do at Hometown are taught to us by Zappos.
He calls the book his story of following path to profit, passion and purpose. It really is, and through the book he is trying us to watch and read, and make some decision about our path to happiness of life.
How to borrow the book?
So if you live in Lahore, and want to read any of the two books. Simply go to our Facebook Page and tell us which book you want to read and we shall give. Please borrow only if you have time to read at now, so that other interested readers can read.
This is something we have never done before, but we are really loving what it can result. Happy Reading!
