    I still want to read this:

    "What Is The What" by Dave Eggers

    "As a boy, Deng is separated from his family during the Second Sudanese Civil War when the Arab Murahaleen militia wipes out his Dinka village. He flees on foot with a group of other young boys, (the "Lost Boys"), encountering great danger and terrible hardship along the way to a refugee camp in Ethiopia; they are forced to flee a second time to another refugee camp in Kenya and finally, years later, he moves to the United States. The story is told in parallel to subsequent hardships in the United States."

    • Somehow I don't need to read it now, after that great summary ;)Witt
