The Kite Runner

Go the nearest bookstore and steal this book by Khaled Hosseini. Literally! Its one of those books, which lets your wear the protaganist's hat and experience his emotions. Its about a young Afghani, who yearns for love from his father. Its about a young Afghani servant, who is brutally loyal to his Master's son. Its about a father, who could never come to terms with his child. Its about an Afghanistan, which basked in peace and life in the early 70s. Its about an Afghanistan, which was ruptured and annihilated by the Taliban. Its about a young orphan whose innocence makes him my hero.

There is a moment, when you get that 'lump' in your throat. And when you do, you won't forget it!
