However reading others answers has made me really think. Still, it hasn't affected my reading.

I have mixed feelings about the whole racial profiling which is being enacted after the attack, in a very subdued manner.

I was lucky enough to see a lecture by the author of the Kite Runner, and he is such a nice man..and funny. It gives a whole other prespective when we read about different lifestyles, etc. and also, no, we in the US don't understand terrorism the same way as others do. I so agree with you.

It's becoming more obvious how important it is to be aware of other cultures and understand them.

I'm very guilty of reading mostly for entertainment and escape - that was true before 9/11 and I guess it's still true.
