The Amazon Store


The Amazon Store has changed location and is now on a cool widget (I just love widgets!)on the side to your right. You will still find the latest book bestsellers as well as everything else from cd's to jewelry, to electronics to gourmet food and everything in between. Among the countless book bestsellers you will find in Amazon is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini an Afghan American writer. The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan,the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime. I read Love in the Time of Cholera in Spanish and was touched deeply by it. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is an absolute giant of modern literature. No doubt.
