When was the last time you read a book about someone completely different from you? 

Diversity in books is important.  It gives you a chance to see yourself reflected in fiction, and it also allows you to stretch your mind in all directions with "stories that expand rather than limit your reality."

Branch out in your reading, and then share why diversity matters to you on weneeddiversebooks.tumblr.com.
