Title: And the Mountains Echoed Author: Khaled Hosseini Genre: fiction What did you like about it? Through various characters from 1952 until the current decade, it provides different views of Afghanistan. Some characters are born there and leave; some are not from there, but end up there; and others spend their entire lives there. The book portrays Afghanistan as a place of poverty in relation to the West, of hardship and suffering; and that is even before the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan

It's Shark Week! Did you watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel with family and friends in years past? I did! Millions of people tuned in every year to learn about these fearsome predators. And yet, many people are still very afraid of sharks, to the point that society has turned a blind eye to the fact that their populations are at risk. Even the writer of Jaws regrets convincing people they are scary, when really, they are one of the ocean's most amazing and important creatures. Want to
This book was read by Courtney Bippley-Reference Librarian at the Main Campus Library Why did you choose to read this book? The premise of this book was intriguing to me. Using mediums to get intelligence from ghosts of soldiers seems like a logical tactic if ghosts were a real and reliable phenomenon. What did you like about it? I like that the book didn’t shy away from the culture of the time in regard to racism and sexism. The author worked these issues into the plot, characters, and setting
