Hmmm... where to begin....
Well to be honest, I enjoyed reading Come Back to Afghanistan, mostly because of the cultural things I learned about Afghanistan. For example, it was very interesting to me that Afghanis do not celebrate birthdays or keep track of time with a calender/watch etc.. I started to read the second book selection, Love & War in Afghanistan, and already found it culturally "eye-catching". So far, the first chapter was not at all what I expected (due to the previous book being very serious and politically based) however the "short stories" we are going to read remind me of the book from last year, Tower Stories. Kabul has been mentioned in both books, and clearly is an important landmark in Afghanistan that I presume we will continue to learn more about. Okay time to finish my reading... Goodnight!
