i have just finished a Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaleed Hosseni as has Momz.
We both loved it it is the follow up to the Kite Runnerr
I have added it to the list... Scully recommended The Kite Runner. Do you think I should take A Thousand Splendid Suns off the list until The Kite Runner comes up since you say it is the follow up, or do you think it would make no difference to read them out of order?

Hi Jackie
Do you think I should take A Thousand Splendid Suns off the list until The Kite Runner comes up since you say it is the follow up, or do you think it would make no difference to read them out of order?
Jackie
No i think you did not need to read The Kite Runner first as it concerns different characters though the same country,
Read both, though they are great books and if possible see the Film Kite Runner it is an excellent flim
David
count me in
I haven't read the Kite Runner - what is it about?
yeah i'm in...i just started reading again lol
just so long as they all don't have to be 'worthy' books
Hi Ql
The Kite Runner is set in Aghanistan and later the USA it explores the relationship between two boys and journeys into manhood. One boy is the son of servant and the other is the son of the master.The Taliban arrive and their paths diverge in every way. The interplay between the two boys is expolred on many levels.
Also examined is the sense of duty between the two amd honour. Like a Thousand Slendid Suns this book is en emotional roller coaster . I loved it

Nope, you can suggest anything you want. I only chose Poe first because of the time crunch and we can do his short stories ;)

I'm up to my eyeballs in studying until summer but certainly count me in after then.
Some of George Orwell's books - particularly Animal Farm and 1984 would be good.
How about poetry books too? Each of us could then select and review a favourite poem maybe and say why and how it impacts us
I'd say no more than one book per month though.

Both are officially added to the list.

Just suggest a book, I'll add it to the list.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. At the very least it's how I'll start it out and we'll see how it goes from there ;)
Jackie
Any other book suggestions out there?
