I read The Kite Runner in 2-3 days a few weeks back. Absolutely loved it! We had a great discussion about it at my book group.

I've recently read a bunch of books......

Dreams From my Father by Barack Obama (made me loooove Obama even more--what a good solid person he is, hope he's our President someday, I think he's fabulous!)

The Beach by Alex Garland (mesmerizing!)

A Very Long Engagement by Sebastian Something (liked the movie slightly better, but still really liked it)

Poisonwood Bible by ??? (eh, it was okay)

The Dangerous Husband by Jane Shapiro (darkly humorous, but not fantastic)

A Ship Made of Paper by Scott Spencer (Wow, talk about feeling very human afterward)

There have been a few others....can't remember them now. Our book group is reading The Jane Austen Book Club or something like that for our light summer pick. I liked the description of it...sounds cute.

I've also been looking through a Fantastic Four collection.....

I bought the new Nick Hornby book, blanking on the name, but I had him sign it after a reading last week. He's dead sexy smart.
