Books: Kite Runner

Just finished the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Quite a good book, set in Afghanistan and then later in the U.S. Yes, I know, everyone's reading it, but I still liked it a lot. Very touching, and very illuminating.

I found the book on Barnes and Noble's Discover New Writers, an excellent source of good books. Also from that list I want to read next is Heaven Lake by John Dalton, about a Midwestern American who decides to become a missionary to Taiwan and gets into more than he imagined.
