"American Dervish" by Ayad Akhtar
Yesterday, I was listening to NPR and heard about a new and fascinating book written by an 
Muslim-American author and his experiences growing up in Minnesota.
The book is entitled "American Dervish" and profiles a young, Pakistani born boy who lives as the extreme minority in suburban Minnesota prior to 9/11.
Adding it to my "list of books to read in 2012". Have you heard of any other new books that I should add?
