The Monk of Mokha

by Dave Eggers

He and his fellow Sufi monks used the beverage in their ceremonies celebrating God, which lasted long into the night. The coffee helped bring them to a kind of religious ecstasy, and because the Sufis were travelers, they brought coffee to all corners of North Africa and the Middle East.

“Forget it. Forget the monks,” Ghassan said. “No monks. Focus on coffee. Focus on the business. Come to think of it, you have to make a choice. Are you a businessman or are you an activist? For now, at least, you have to pick one.”

I kinda feel this way about the whole book so far, tbh.
