I have a confession. I knew next to nothing about South Korean politics before reading Banned Book Club, a classic example of censorship and fascism. You may have to wait to read this graphic novel, it comes out in June 2020. @ryanestrada @kevin9143 #WorldBookDay #BookChatter

Think Vietnam, and what comes to your mind is the epic disaster. The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai is a vivid and gripping account of Vietnam's 20th-century history from the inside. @nguyen_p_quemai #WorldBookDay #BookChatter

Why do people immigrate? Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits by Laila Lalami is an empathetic look at immigration, identity, and human resilience. @LailaLalami #WorldBookDay #BookChatter

As an army brat, I am biased towards Letters from Kargil by Diksha Dwivedi. A raw first-hand account of the war through the eyes of the soldiers on the front lines. @dikshadwivedi #WorldBookDay #BookChatter
