Hope everyone enjoyed the December break and read something good over the holidays.
January's book is The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid

A psychological thriller that spans continents and cultures, The Reluctant Fundamentalist takes us from the privileged confines of Princeton University to the anxious streets of contemporary Pakistan; from the sun-baked Greek island of Santorini to a sanitarium in the Hudson Valley; from the galleries of downtown Manhattan to the highest echelons of American finance. It's a journey made in 200 pages that reveals more about the human realities of the post-9/11 world than a shelf of thick political treatises.

"An extraordinary work of empathy and imagination, Mohsin Hamid's n ovel vividly dramatizes the turmoil and terror of today's world in a single unforgettable voice."
