The Kite Runner

For a dramatic read, pick up “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. It took me a few chapters to really get into, but Hosseini’s vivid voice and artful detail reeled me in.

Set in Afghanistan, this book is both educational and emotional. We follow the story of Amir, a child born to privilege and Hassan, a child born to servitude. These boys form an unlikely bond, overcoming both religious and class lines. This book is thought provoking and very moving.

Be sure to add this to your reading list if you have the chance.
