Reddit reviews The Bookseller of Kabul

The Bookseller of Kahbul by Anse Seierstad

I just finished this book for a book club. Its a hard read, but eye opening. This book gives a glimpse into Afghan life by focusing on individuals in a family. It shows how even those you would think have the opportunity for success, are even denied basic education.If you live a first world life, like I do in middle America, it is very eye opening and makes you feel so grateful for the life you live. I did have to stop reading before bed due to the unhappy content, but I think this is an important read to understand the culture of an corruption of this country. It does read like a novel, which sometimes makes the individual events seem like random facts being tossed around, but it does come full circle in the end. It does focus a lot on women's rights,or lack of, so it may not be for everyone. But I enjoyed it :) Love and light!

Great, as I look at my bookshelf I have:
Survivor
Fight Club
and
Lullaby.

I will often get on Amazon and just order several books to get the free shipping. Based on other stuff I have read and like Chuck was recommended and I have heard interesting things about Fight Club so I figured, "why not."

Oh well, I guess that I will try Fight Club next.

I'm reading "The Bookseller of Kabul" right now and it is pretty interesting. (Non-fiction)
