The Kite Runner, by Khaled HosseiniThis was an unbelievable book...a MUST READ. Fantastic tale about a boy from Afghanistan wrestling his inner demons while coping with the strife that is modern Afghanistan. It's an intense introspective glance into the soul of humanity. I couldn't put this book down.
The Grapes of Wrath, by John SteinbeckI'm loving Steinbeck. East of Eden completely drew me in, slapped me around, and left me dizzy. Grapes of Wrath was just as fantastic, but in an entirely different way. It's an epic story of human struggle (the depression and dust bowl) amidst unbridled greed. Yet heard throughout the struggles of the 'Okies' is a small whisper of hope that says, "If we all work together, we'll be ok."
A lesson just as relevant today.
I like books....
