5.0

After rearranging my bookshelves and separating the books I haven't read yet, I asked some of my friends to randomly pick a number so I could begin to compile my March/Cavite Exile TBR. I forgot I had this book in the first place and was surprised to find out that I willingly bought a non-fiction book, but then I remembered that I didn't know it was non-fiction at the time (roughly 3 years ago—woah!)

I really enjoyed this book! Easy to read and engaging, especially to me, because of the variety in the lengths, themes, and tones of the essays. I never found myself bored even as it delved into topics I wasn't familiar with.

I would like to try reading Hamid's novels because I grew to admire his writing in his non-fiction book, so what more in a novel?
