My ideal place to watch the sunrise is on a rooftop hotel in the Moroccan city of Fez, on the morning of Eid-al-Ftr when the Muslim fast is broken.

Be sure to check out Heather’s Matador profile.

Favorite books: Afghanistan: Where God Only Comes to Weep, anything by Khuswant Singh, William Dalrymple, or Salman Rushdie

    My favorite Rushdie book is Haroun and the Sea of Stories, and I’m proud that he’s now a professor at my alma mater, Emory University!

    I recently devoured Shalimar the Clown. Great stuff.

    Thanks for featuring my favorite authors and books! I’m just now reading “Malicious Gossip”, a collection of short works by Khuswant Singh. My favorite one by him is “The Ground Beneath Her Feet,” although I also love “Haroun and the Sea of Stories” and “Shame.” You can read his stuff again and again and get new meaning each time.

    Oh and “The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns” are some of my more recent favorites. I’m waiting for a third book….
