Writers of Color 50 Books Challenge

That's good to hear; it's been popular in developmental writing courses at the university I did my MA at last year, and I'm always worried about their choices (there's a bias toward assigning books that lit profs think are "good for you" rather than ones that students will actually enjoy or get anything out of). For example, while reviewers and others raved about _The Kite Runner_ (partly set locally), and from the bits I read of it, it was very well written, students just found it miserable to read.
