Fab recommendation list, "Things Fall Apart" is easily one of the most interesting books I've ever read. Looking forward to your 2023 fiction reccos.

I hearted it without reading when I saw The Kite Runner on the list. If you liked it, should go for A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini as well. Its heart-wrenchingly beautiful, like a song that you sang when you were young and didn't understand the pain, but in later years you mindlessly hum it and it hits you. This kind of pain is how Khaled narrates his stories from Afghanistan.

Hi, thanks for these book recommendations that explores various cultures. I wanted to share this quote by my favourite author, 'If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.' One of the reasons why I give importance to reading your newsletters is just that, to cherish all that isn't commonly cherished. It's been wonderful getting to know a piece of your mind. Thanks for sharing :)
