I just finished reading The Kite Runner for my Eng class. It's long, but once you get into it it doesn't seem so. It's a story that begins in Kabul in the 1970's. Two of the characters flee to America in the early 1980's, when the war gains amplitude. In 2001, one goes back to Afghanistan to make peace with something terrible that happened before he left, something that has deeply troubled him since. It's pretty good.
