I know I haven’t posted anything lately, and to be honest I felt really bad, because I have been getting these hints from my readers, that I haven’t done much on my blog lately, which is true!
I have a demanding side job (sounds weird but it is true) and my full time job which is school, is sucking my last ounces of energy! So, I do apologize! Please accept my apology by reading my new blog post, on the best books I have come across so far. And if I ever leave you guys hanging again, pick up a copy and read it, while I type my next blog post! :-). And of course let me know what you think about them. :-)

I must first say that I have a rather different reading style. I don’t stick to one genre and I am always interested in books that normally someone else wouldn’t want to read. Maybe it’s because I’m so different. Or it could also be because everyone has a preference for certain books..?(Now, that sounds more logical! Haha)
In any case, let’s start with my take on the top 5 books you must read before you die!
Nr. 1. The Kite Runner by Khaled HosseiniI cannot remember one page of this book, where I didn’t feel overwhelmed with so many emotions that I couldn’t control.
The Kite Runner is about two young boys, one of who is rich and son of a wealthy man, and the other the son of a servant. These two boys become best friends.
This is an astonishing story about challenges in a young boys life and the heartaches it came with, while feeling underappreciated and unloved by his father, it tells a story of great friendship regardless of status difference and the loyalty that one person can have to another, and most importantly it tells the story of how forgiveness can lead to the ultimate peace of mind.
I happened to come across this book through a friend, whom I’m most thankful for, because I could relate to the deep hidden messages written by this amazing writer. I could never forget this novel because it has touched me deeply; the way it is beautifully written and shows a different side of Kabul, that I think many people have never heard of and some will never see.
I haven’t seen the movie Kite Runner, and I don’t intend to anytime soon. Because, I feel that a book can and is more detailed and I don’t want to be disappointed, on how I portrayed the story to be, for it to end up being completely different on how I envisioned it.
However, feel free to watch the movie if you want. But I suggest reading the book first, I believe you can get a more in depth idea of the journey of Amir (main character), and believe me you will be blown away!
I hope this was helpful and made you want to read it.
Enjoy it!

Nice review about a work of art among books! The movie will not dissapoint though. It helps you to picture what you have read. Thanks for recommending this literary gem! Looking forward to your next post.
