The Kite Runner

I just finished The Kite Runner. I bought it when I thought I was going to be teaching Intro to the Novel class this fall. That fell through due to low enrollment, but I kept it in my TBR pile. This past week, after hearing two different colleagues rave about it, I made it a goal to start reading it at night instead of watching TV. I started it Friday night and finished it tonight. It was a nice break from reading essays and creating online content, which is what I did from 9-5 (and 9 to 11 pm too) Wednesday and Friday.

It's a heart-breaking story, which I won't retell here as I want people to read it. I was very much caught up in the pre-Taliban and Mujaheddin descriptions of Kabul, though.

Anyway, I won't go into detail, but I will say it was a good read, a welcome learning experience, and very memorable.

Now I go back to grading essays (example, comparisons and processes from three different classes) and prepping.
