Namuh: I'm just finishing "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. It's a book about the author's life in Afghanistan as his past catches up with his new life in California. I don't want to ruin any plots, but suffice it to say that this book brings home the ugly reality of war and ethnic cleansing, the suffering war causes and brings you face to face with the Taliban...

But it's more than that ... It's how one single decision in life can have repercussions on many people... How past mistakes can haunt you and return ... but also about the redeeming quality of life - that gives you the opportunity to change.

I haven't finished it yet though. So it's a general impression...


I read the Kite Runner two years ago and it is a book that has stayed in my soul.
