I haven't written about what I have read in quite a while, so I thought I would make a couple quick comments.
First of all, on the cusp of finishing Three Weeks with My Brother, I have a whole new appreciation for Sparks as a person and a writer. I am so impressed, that I am contemplating reading some of the stuff that he is better known for: A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, The Guardian, and Message in a Bottle.
I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if you tend to find the movies spun off from his books as cheesy and unrealistic as I do.
A Thousand Splendid Suns was good. I am in no way dismissing it; however, if you are torn between this and Kiterunner, there is no contest, Kiterunner is, by far, the better novel.
Oh, if you have any recommendations, I would love to know what you think is good to read. In all honesty, I am procrastinating, Atlas Shrugged is a little daunting due to the fact I could kill a man with how big it is.

i started listening to kiterunner on cd and had to stop. i couldn't stand it. maybe i should try reading it. the same thing happened to me with fahrenheit 451. i can only handle light reads lately. that bothers me.
This summer I read Molokai (I can't remember the author name right now) - I definitely recommend it. Great read.
While I enjoy reading Johnny Tremain for Book Club at school, neither the 6-8th Grade Boys nor the 6-8th Grade Girls are enjoying it along with me. You be the judge.
