What: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
The book or the book on tape should be available in the library.
Note: Many of you might be like me, reading a novel is a luxurious thing to do. I have borrowed this book before but didn’t go beyond one or two pages. Finally I managed to finish this book on the road during Thanksgiving – no, I didn’t read it while driving, instead I listened to the tape. For the comment, I’d like to borrow a few words from amazon.com: “Hosseini has created characters that seem so real that one almost forgets that The Kite Runner is a novel and not a memoir.†This was exactly how I felt therefore I found the story was so powerful. I haven’t watched the movie the Kite Runner yet but will do so to compare the visual effect of the story to the writing.
