I read the book "Kite Runner" by Kaled Hosseini back during the summer and was absolutely rivited to it for the whole week. Hosseini peals back the curtain to the culture of pre-taliban and post-taliban Afghanistan. As I read through the book and was hit in the face with classicism dealt through the tribal structures and the development of a young man from cowardice to strength, I was confronted with my own personal development and value structures. How do you grow up a young boy into a man! This was an excellent book and worth recommending to anyone who wants to gain a perspective of the various cultures of the middle east.
