Lee Stockwell gave to: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini	My rating:
I don't normally read this type of story but I did like it and found it very informative and moving. It's great to get some of the inside scoop on what is happening in Afghanistan even if the story is fiction.

Lee Stockwell gave to: World Without End (The Pillars of the Earth, #2) by Ken Follett	My rating:
This book can be read independently of the first book, Pillars of the Earth. A very good, well-written book.

Lee Stockwell gave to: Invasive Procedures by Orson Scott Card read in March, 2008	My rating:
Again, not one of Card's best books. However I'm impressed with his grasp of concepts in whatever field he chooses to write about. This book was written, in my opinion, with the intent that it someday become a screenplay. The co-author Aaron Johns...more

Book 2 in the continuing story of Peekay, this story also includes a new main character whose life eventually becomes entwined with that of Peekay. The two characters represent polar opposites in the Apartheid struggle of South Africa. Peekay belon...more

Lee Stockwell gave to: The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay read in April, 2008	My rating:
This is one of my personal all-time favorite books. It is an inspiring story of a young boy growing up in South Africa with strong reference to Apartheid and the racial strife that was, and is, a part of the culture there. Peekay, the main characte...more

Lee Stockwell gave to: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (Goodreads Author) read in February, 2008	My rating:
I was entertained by this book more than anything. It claims to have a spiritual lesson about finding and following your destiny at all costs - something which, according to the book, I have moved beyond since I have a family now. That negative rem...more
