In a word? Life changing. This book really changed my outlook on a lot of things. It was AMAZING writing, I could not put it down. The story was about two women in Afghanistan and takes place over the past 30 years... it was really educational for me, since my Afghanistan education pretty much began on Sept 11... The style of writing and characters came to life for me, and I couldn't stop until I knew how it ended. Khaled Housseini is a fantastic writer, and I highly recommend The Kite Runner AND A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Link to The Kite Runner movie info (came out last weekend...looks like kind of mixed reviews, but I'll still see it eventually. :))

I wanted to let you know that we're reading this right now in the book club. Judy practically read it in a day and came over tonight to thank me for selecting this book - she LOVED it. I just started it this week and am halfway through, but really have to pace myself cause I have a TON of writing to do in the next week. But I can't wait to finish it! On another note, I think I have some of the books on your wish list - I'll check and let you know.
