With The Bookseller of Kabul, award-winning journalist Asne Seierstad has given readers a first-hand look at Afghani life as few outsiders have seen it. Invited to live with Sultan Khan, a bookseller in Kabul, and his family for months, this account of her experience allows the Khans to speak for themselves, giving us a genuinely gripping and moving portrait of a family, and of a country of great cultural riches and extreme contradictions. For more than 20 years, Sultan Khan has defied the authorities -- whether Communist or Taliban -- to supply books to the people of Kabul. He has been arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned, and has watched illiterate Taliban soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. Yet he had persisted in his passion for books, shedding light in one of the world's darkest places. This is the intimate portrait of a man of principle and of his family -- two wives, five children, and many relatives sharing a small four-room house in this war ravaged city. But more than that, it is a rare look at contemporary life under Islam, where even after the Taliban's collapse, the women must submit to arranged marriages, polygamous husbands, and crippling limitations on their ability to travel, learn and communicate with others.Binding Type: Paperback

The best lip sunscreen I've tried by FAR
Size: 2-Pack (0.15 Ounce each), Size: 2-Pack (0.15 Ounce each)
Background:
I have VERY dry lips that sunburn, desiccate, and wrinkle easily (see before pic). I use prescription tretinoin so I'm skin sensitized and hyper conscious of sun exposure. I've tried lip sunscreens from what feels like every single brand, including EltaMD (3/5, looks ok, not moisturizing enough), Sun Bum (1/5, super drying, gross flavor, oily) Aquaphor (4/5, looks good, pretty moisturizing, my #2), Blistex (2/5, waxy, drying), and a million other random Amazon and gas station brands.
First impression:
I actually didn't read the ingredients list before purchasing since I was buying a bunch of new brands to try. But as soon as I put it on I was blown away at how immediately SOFT, hydrated, plumped, and moisturized my lips felt...and that is not something I ever say about my lips. Then I checked out the ingredients and it made sense. The top ingredient in the base is argan oil which is very emollient and moisturizing, then bisabolol which is a very soothing natural extract from chamomile, and this also has beeswax, sweet almond oil, shea butter and vitamin e for more moisture and antioxidant benefits. This is a really impressive formula from a $3 tube of sunscreen, let alone the fact it has SPF 30. There's a tiny amount of white cast if I look closely (from the zinc, see after pic) but it's not really noticeable and overall it looks really flattering on my lips (Fitzpatrick III, light-medium skin and medium pigmented lips). The alternative is a balm with chemical filters which (in my experience) all taste disgusting. If you have dark skin or very pigmented lips I would still give it a shot since it's pretty affordable and quite sheer, but you might prefer it over a lip stain. This has zero flavor or scent when I eat or lick my lips.
Sun protection test:
I have worn this outside while gardening in October/early November and haven't experienced any burning or sun sensitization on my lips. I haven't worn it during summer months when the sun is most intense, but the fact that the formula is flavorless and super moisturizing really incentivizes me to reapply often which is the most important factor when it comes to sunscreen (especially lip sunscreen which moves around more!), so I don't anticipate having issues with maintaining solar protection.
5/5 great product!
