If you haven't read "The Kite Runner" you should. I checked out Khaled Hosseini's "A Thousand Splendid Suns" from my library. So far it is pretty captivating. I think this book is going to focus on more of the relationships between women in Afghanistan. That's what I gather from the inside flap and the first 50 pages or so.
Our next read for our book club is "Snowflower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. This book is fiction and is about the friendships between Chinese women and the secret language that they created. They used fans to write messages to each other. I'm reading that one next.
I also finished listening to "Bee Season" last week. That was a really compelling story. I loved it. I am going to pick up another audio book at the library by the same author (Myla Goldberg) which is called "Wickett's Remedy". Listening to audio books in the car just makes the commute so much more bearable. The radio gets so old after awhile. It's nice to have something else to focus on. I was really wrapped up in "Bee Season". I know before I said her voice is mousy--I actually think she has an expressive voice and it was perfect for that story. I'm curious to see how I'll like this one.
