The Kite Runner, part deux

I finished up "The Kite Runner" last night and found the last 200 pages to be as beautiful as the first 100. What a compelling story! I was only planning on reading for 15 minutes last night and wound up reading for 2 hours and finishing the book at 1:30am. I definitely teared up a few times while reading that book, which is really a rarity for me.

I also saw "The Nanny Diaries" yesterday with Hannah. It was really nice to spend some time with Hannah, who is certainly going to be a famous director/photographer in 15 years. The movie wasn't particularly great. I understand from others out in the blogosphere that the book is far superior to the film, so perhaps I'll give the book a chance. The movie, however, was definitely one you should wait for on cable. I don't even know if I'd pay for a rental.

I just found this today. So excited you're blogging! I loved The Kite Runner too, and just finished his new book, which was just as good if not better.
