Books Are Big in Bangladesh

During Ramadan in Bangladesh, you'll spot Muslims eating Ramadan dishes, making charitable donations, fasting throughout the day, and waking up early to feast and pray before another day without food or water. But one Ramadan tradition that doesn't seem to be going anywhere in Bangladesh is people's love for books. During this month, Bangleshi Muslims buy and read countless religious books and stories. Of course, this also includes the Quran.

And while many Muslims buy these books from dedicated book stores, they also have the opportunity to buy pop-up book fairs that open up their doors during the month of Ramadan. Then, after Ramadan, they shut up shop again.
