Two weekends ago I read The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mosin Hamid. It was a quick easy read from the reading perspective. I literally started on Saturday and finished it on Sunday and had a whole weekend in between.
It's definitely the kind of book that makes you think. While it is framed around current issues in the world, it is more of an everyman, every instance story that applies to so much of how people have approached otherness through the history of mankind. It did make me look at things from multiple sides, something I think we, as in the human race, fail to do all too often.
If you just want to keep thinking they way you do about people and races and ideas that make you uncomfortable so you can just continue to ignore them, don't read it.
