"One time, when I was very little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurt a lot. Mother said that if I'd just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldn't have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the apples." — Khaled Hosseini

added a quote:
"It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make ANYTHING all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight. But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting. - Amir" — Khaled Hosseini

This is maybe the best book I´ve ever read. Story seems simple, but there is really high and strong point of view, I mean the author talked to everyone and anything which is "humanity" inside us. And humanity doesn´t mean only good things... And yeah, you learn more about Islam and Afghanistan. It´s rough book, very rough. In some parts seems a little bit pathethic, but for me it was great archetyp about what human beings ussualy are. The Kite runner will make you totaly amazed. The Kite runner will force you to think about your whole life, the good things ad the bad things, both of them belong to you. And sometimes that´s hard to admit the truth about you... Hosseini did it in fascinating way. ]]>
