Read a good book lately?
The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
I've just finished reading this and it's brillant! Stirred up all sorts of emotions and I couldn't wait each night to read it. Certainly opened my heart's eyes to the Afghan people & children. I loved it and I can't wait to read his 2nd book.
