Continuing
Just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It's a beautiful but veeery sad story about friendship. I cried A LOT. He's the same man who wrote The Kite Runner which I think I liked more. The Kite Runner was also very sad but there always seemed like there was a way out. There was something that could be done to end or change the bad that was going on. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, maybe because the story was about two women, the suffering seemed heavier even permanent. The book became suffucating at times. I had to skip some paragraphs because I didn't even want to imagine being in the same situation. Got me more interested in the Middle East culture though, and in visiting Kabul. Saw some Youtube videos on the city. I'll find a good one and post it.
