I agree that Zeitoun is a terrific option for the common read. It is very easy to read, well-paced, and informative. CSUN students would benefit from learning about a modern tragedy (the government’s handling of Katrina) and issues with non-Christians in the US. Also, faculty could use individual chapters for teaching, such as Kathy’s conversion to Islam. A student needn’t read the whole book to benefit.
