#dariusthegreat is equal parts painful, touching, and funny. Between the #startrek and #lordoftherings lingo and an in-depth look at what it’s like not to feel like you belong anywhere, I can’t say enough sweet things about this book and sweet Darius. Also, #dariusthegreat is such a beautiful inside look at being Iranian-American and the desire to connect to a past/culture you’ve never known up close. I also love books that teach me things and I have learned SO MUCH about #taarof and #qottab and #persiantea • •

Lastly, and most importantly, I believe it’s more crucial than ever to read diverse books. Books that serve as meaningful representation of peoples and cultures that are often demonized in Western media.
