Ponderings of a Scientist

If you haven’t already read them, I overwhelmingly suggest “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and “Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. I finished “A Thousand Splendid Suns” last night, all 200 pages I had left! I couldn’t put it down. My heart was beating out of my chest with anxiety and sympathetic tears were in my eyes, as Hosseini painted such a vivid and heart-wrenching picture of life in Afghanistan. Both of these novels are poignant, not only are they great stories, but they also highlight the socio-political state of Afghanistan. I had to keep reminding myself that these novels were set in the present time and reflected the realities of present day Afghanistan, because the lives the characters lead are so different then my own.
