Watta book!!

I's been long since I read something so good. The one which I read before this was the latest harry potter...and what can one say about that..harry potter is harry potter...i carried it with me wherever i went ..to the loo, to my class, in front of the television..but 'The Kite Runner' is different..It kind of immobilizes you..so you don't need to carry it around.
I have read books talking about the muslim culture before , 'the princess' , 'not without my daughter' and many more. But this book touched me in more than one way. The way Khalid Hoessinni has described each and every situation made me feel like I was there..I could smell the meat being cooked and hear the wind through the kites. I could feel Amir's pain and love. I could understand what Hassan was all about, why he still cared for Amir, despite Amir's betrayal.
How living in this world and society, one has to be what the world wants us to be. But at the same time, the past will continue to haunt us till we don't reconcile it.And lastly, one has to pay the price of what one didn't do or do..Always!!!
