List O' Books

Here is my list of books that I have read by middle eastern or african writers.  It isn't very extensive.
1.  Things Fall Apart By Chinua Achebe - This wasn't my favorite book, but it was pretty good.  That is all I have to say about that.
2.  The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini - This was one of my favorite books because it at least seemed to be a very genuine story of what happens to people in the middle east, particularly Afganistan.
3.  A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier By Ishmael Beah - I read this book for summer reading coming into freshman year.  I liked the fact that they were for the most part true stories, and for this reason it gave you a very good insight into the lives of boy soldiers in africa.
