Picked up Forest Euphoria today. Cracking this bad boy open is what made me realize that, until now, I’ve never read a book by someone who shares my background.

To my knowledge, this is the first book I’ve read by someone of Armenian and Irish descent. Glad that’s something I can begin to correct.
