Thinking back on all of the books I’ve read in the last year, I was only able to narrow it down to two books that touched me: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Both of these books has inspired me in their own ways (Eat, Pray, Love: to discover myself in Italy and The Kite Runner: to re-evaluate my friendships and loyalties), and I read my way through each of them in record time, never wanting to put them down for even a minute. I’ve loaned both of these books out to friends, and I hope to get them back soon, as I would love to read them again and again.
The Kite Runner has been made into a movie, but I have yet to see it. Eat, Pray, Love is currently being made into a move that I just may have to see at some point!

i LOVED the kite runner! what a powerful book. we saw the movie as well. chuck hadn't read the book beforehand. the movie is pretty true to the book and we both enjoyed it. i still can't convince chuck that books are better than movies and so he won't read it. *sadface*
ReplyDeleteWhen a movie is true to the book...well, let's just say that it's like a happy party in my pants!
ReplyDeleteIs Chuck one of those people who don't read? That would not be cool.
