    "The Kite Runner"

    I haven't been reunited with my Reading Journal yet, so my thoughts are once again on the incoherent side. But I can safely say that I really liked "The Kite Runner" and that it made me cry. It's Khaled Hossein's first novel, and I think that shows in a few places -- the dialogue seems shaky in some places, for example. But the book's heart is true. Here's the one phrase I made note of:
    ... I thought of all the empty spaces Baba would leave behind when he was gone, and I made myself think of something else.
