The Kite Runner question

The book was very intense, same for a thousand splendid suns. But i still couldn't love those books.
It's all the injustice that happens throughout the world that got to me, and I feel like we forget how well off we are.
Also i'd recommend Mother of the Believers by Kamran Pasha, this really got me thinking about life. Its one of the best books i've ever read!

I loved this book, fabulous and moving
To answer the discussion question, nearly every one I read. There's almost always a comment from a character, or a point of view that makes me go, hmmmm.

This is a very powerful book, and it taught me a lot about Afganastan. Jonathan does have a few points, but the brilliance of the storyline made all that shrink into insignifigance.

Yes I read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Piccoult about high school bulling it made me think of my pathetic high school years. I read Jane Eyre and it made me question whether the love that Jane and Mr Rochester ever exists in real life. Other good books are also Snow Flower and the secret Fan by Lisa See; The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

I have several books I feel that way about, a couple are:
Native Tongue
Les Misérables
I think people who appreciated the ideas this book provoked, another one to try might be:
The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East

I find it baffling that people love this book so much. It's so overblown with contrived emotion and the ending so fantastically unlikely and unrealistic it just annoyed me.

I read The Kite Runner. I can't say it taught me something. In fact, it reminded me the essence of friendship and humanity with rather simple set of words and images. When I think about learning from this book specifically, I can say that I learnt to look for "plot holes" afterwards, although I mostly managed to keep plot holes away from my stories, even before reading the book.

The book appealed to my emotions greatly.

This book is one of the best books I ever read.
I think all elements in this story was complete and the most important this book is inspiring.

Can't stop my tears reading this book. Inspiring one. We exist,we struggle. We fight. In the end, know that there will always be one God. JUSTICE prevail.:)

i love this book, teaches us to appreciate and count all our blessings.. excited to read thousand splendid sun

Interesting protagonist, the author did a good job making readers sympathize and hate the protagonist.

Yes. All are nonfiction, and all are about animals:
Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior
Pet Clean-Up Made Easy, 2nd Edition: Tackle and Pet Mess, Any Time, in a Snapfrom Stains and Smells to Fleas and Furballs
Petspeak
Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals
Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them

I loved this book. The reason for it is that most books are about the Good guy and the Evil one. But this one always stood neutral. It also has alot of symbolic meaning. I just love the Redemption Idea

Hope for the Flowers

Mans Search for Meaning by Frankl ...absolutely.

Questions and Answers on the Mothers of the Believers

This novel is the reason I started to read books...
