How much reading does it take?

I've read all 3 novels of Khaleed Hossein, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, and And Mountains Echoed. Fiction, I know they, but the subject matter is a fairl reflection on the culture the author has grown up with and knows well. All 3 books protray the demand for obedience from women by their husbands, male relatives and religious leaders.

Maybe you should stick to reading your bible instead - specially the Old Testament.
