    Simply put, I can think of at least ten reasons off the top of my head why Laurel should have a city-wide reading program and I can think of at least fifteen as to why The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini should be a part of it. However, this letter contains only a few of what I believe are the most significant reasons as to why Laurel should participate in such a program with such a mature novel. To begin with, reading is- undoubtedly- an essential and entertaining tool. As of 2003, the illiteracy rate in Prince George’s County was at twenty-two percent.…
