The Reluctant Fundamentalist/Mohsin Hamid 194 pgs.
There is a lot of symbolism in this book about a Pakistani student who come to the U.S. for college and stays for a few years pursuing his "American Dream" at least until 9/11 and its aftermath make him rethink his goals. This is the freshman read at Wash U. this semester and I attended our discussion last week before reading the book. I'm not sure if that was good or bad but I guess it doesn't matter. It does seem like a good choice for a larger discussion of a lot of issues. - Christa
