4th Quarter Outside Reading Book

I chose the novel "The Namesake," by Jhumpa Lahiri. I wanted to read it mostly due to the fact that I have not read many pieces of literature by Indian authors. It is about a family who comes to the United States from Calcutta, and about a boy named Gogol, and his experience growing up in America, and although I am half-Indian, I haven't really had to experience the culture gap inbetween India and the United States. This book will give me a better idea of what it is like for someone in that position.
