The conversation with "Exit West" author Mohsin Hamid will air tonight on the PBS NewsHour.

Then they will announce the next book club pick.

Let us know what the new book is. I am following the facebook page for the book club but I miss a lot.

Will do. The PBS Newshour comes on at 6PM in my area. They usually do the book club at the end of the show. I'll DVR it and post tonight.

If it is one that appeals to us, we can add it to our Group read schedule here.

Our next read here, mid april, will be
Educated: A Memoir----Tara Westover

I thought Hamid did a good job of illustrating how people may want to migrate and keep their own traditions while others are ready to try new traditions (or food or language, etc). To me, it's what makes a nation grow well, despite some pains. It's been a challenge for many western nations, i know, to watch newcomers adhere to their traditions when they conflict with local ones but respecting their rights is the important aspect.

I enjoyed the interview on the News Hour.
