the kite runner is a fantastic book. there's something about hosseini that draws the reader into the book and brings him into a totally separate world, and make you feel like you have known the characters for ages. that makes you feel for them; that leaves you asking for more. Written in a most touching, engaging and captivating fashion, Hosseini brings us into the world of culture-bound Afghanistan and forces us to ask ourselves many tough but pertintent questions pertaining to our past mistakes, willingness to make sacrifices, our relationships with people around us and what our friends really mean to us. o well, its a really good book so you should go read it if you havent. hosseini is like one of my favourite authors now.

the past week hasnt exactly been hell, although it was hrm different but boring and tiring. stayed at shangrila and read like more than 3 books to kill the boredom, of course amidst protecting important personnel. haha omg i make myself sound so righteous. but yea. nicholas spark's the notebook's pretty touching. i thought the guy - noah, i think, is pretty sweet but unlike edwin i cant appreciate the true feelings of the book because ... well because ... haha nvm. and james patterson's beach road was pretty interesting - especially given the twist in the end that was unexpected. though i had expected A twist because of the dumb reviews in front. i find that pretty dumb really, placing comments that talk about the SPECTACULAR twist and hence making everyone EXPECT a twist. o please. this book holds special meaning to me cos i specially went to get it for my last day of duty haha. i think if i did these kind of duties for the entire month, maybe i would get a little reading badge they used to give out in my p school for being an avid reader haha.

my weekends for the next 3 weeks are destroyed. but as usual its for the greater good.

and its stan chart 42km NEXT WEEK. omg ggxx.
