A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini

Finally I get around to reading this much talked about book, whilst the author's previous "The Kite Runner" still sits on my shelves unread. I didn't cry the buckets of tears that my friends did, but it's certainly a heart-tuggingly sad story set in Afghanistan's war-torn history. Often, reading such books, I just get angry at the senseless human cost of war and subjugation of women. Ah well.
