I'm reading The Kite Runner right now. Has anyone read it? It has me 100% obsessed right now. Going back to what I was writing on when I was having my random thinking the other day.... I tend to tune things out; think happy thoughts. This book has me heartbroken over what is going on. I wont say too much about it, because I don't want to ruin things for you all; but I really really really recommend it. It's a great thought provoker and I have to admit that I sometimes try to clear world devastation and violence out of my thoughts; it just makes me want to DO SOMETHING!!!! I want to help!
I have to share just a little... I can't help it. So if you haven't read it and you want to... stop reading!
The beginning of the book starts off with the narrator Amir talking to his old friend from Afghanistan Rahim Kahn. Rahim Kahn says something at the beginning of the first chapter that made me want to keep reading and reading. He says "there's a way to be good again." That's all I'm going to tell you guys about the book; but the quote was so powerful. There's a way to be good again. There's a way to undo it all. A way to fix what you have done wrong. Like a re-do button! Wouldn't be amazing? I wish someone said that to me every time I screwed up. There's a way to be good again! I wish it were so easy. I wish the world could easily apply this quote to itself and undo all the hurt and destruction man has inflicted to it.

My sociology teacher told us about this book. She said that they made it into a movie and that she recommended both. I'll definitely consider checking them out. Thanks for the tip.
i've been looking for another good book lately. so thank you, i'll be jotting this down on my lists of things to do. although i never seem to get around to that list... ah, haha.
"there's a way to be good again." it's so simple, so true, it hits so close to home.
I actually have this book on hold in the library! We are required toread it for school....but ive heard so many good things about it!!!
It's a great book... not so much because of the writing, but because of the important story. I live in Fremont (where the second half of the story is based), and he nailed all of the details. There are tons of Afghans who came to Fremont for the same reason that the narrator in the story had to.
I thought this was a great book. I would definitely read it again!
