Hi, I’m Muhiuddin Alam — book lover, storyteller, and your go-to guy for thoughtful reads. I started blogging back in 2000 and never stopped. Today, I run ReadingAndThinking.com, where I share book reviews, curated reading lists, and reflections from two decades of turning pages.
You’ll also find my writing on Medium, Quora, Linkedin, Vocal, Flipboard, and Amazon KDP— places where I blend curiosity with content.
Living with my family near Brooklyn, New York, I read daily and recommend books that spark thought, foster growth, and empower readers to think, learn, and transform.
