What I'm reading ...

I have started The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, which is my next book club selection. I am also about to see the dramatised version at the theatre. I have no idea whether seeing this before I have read the book is good or not. Here's the blurb:

Afghanistan, 1975: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.
