The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is about Amir, a boy from Afghan who is trying to find “a way to be good again.” Amir had a dream to become a writer but he had a difficult time trying to accomplish it since there were many obstacles that he had to overcome. Khaled wanted to show how Amir can step up in what he believed in after so many years of regret. Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul so his knowledge of the events that occurred is fairly accurate. The imagery of the novel was specific in many different aspects. Khaled wanted to show the world what was happening in Kabul and the awful power of the Taliban and the impact was greater because the story starred a boy and his struggles in life. In The Kite Runner Amir and Hassan, Amir’s servant, were both raised together and according to Baba, Amir’s father, this made them have a bond between each other. So the two would play, and read under a pomegranate even though Hassan could not read for he was a servant. The two both had different roles in each others ordinary life; Hassan would prepare Amir’s clothes while Amir ate the breakfast that Hassan just prepared for him. Their lives were so different from each other, yet Hassan did not care of their difference and thought the world of him; yet Amir did not think the same way. As time went on Amir desperately wanted to gain favor of Baba’s approval since Baba thought his son as a weakling. So when the kite tournament came around he decided to win it in order to gain his approval, but a turn of events makes Amir’s life change for ever. Having these obstacles makes the reader want to know how Amir can possibly find the answer or a way out. The types of things that Amir finds out are not always pleasant but he had to hear so he could make the right choice. As the book nears the end things start to go hay wire and Amir thinks that in the end that perhaps he can start over. Through all the struggles that he had to go through he thinks that he has finally stood up like the man Baba always wanted him to be and for that he will try his best to succeed. But the road was not easy; he had to risk his life for another and had to bear the thought of losing someone else he cared for, again. The book contain much emotion and struggles that it had me flipping to next page wanting to know what was going to happening next. Khaled bought forth many topics and he explained them very well that the reader would never fell utterly lost. Such as how if someone fails to redeem themselves over and over again there is always hope for another opportunity and how there is always someone there to help you along. There was also much information about the Taliban, which was something that I never really learned about, so the book taught me much about them. It gives the reader information about the struggle of a man trying “to be good again” and how the Taliban made his future change too. I recommend this book to everyone because it teaches a lesson of life and a bit of history as well.
The best.

Comprised of one novella and four short stories, The Gold at the Starbow's End is a somewhat fascinating collection. The title tale regards a group of astronauts on a very long journey to Alpha Centuari and what they do to occupy the time they spend getting there. They have been sent by a very forward-thinking man who may not really have their best interests at heart. This story was hilarious in regards to the kind of antics the astronauts got up to, and the reaction their handler has to their reports are absolutely priceless in more ways than one. "Sad Solarian Screenwriter Sam" is one of those stories where extra-terrestrials decide to destroy the human race because we suck. Sam is their one and only test subject. He sucks. Quite a bit of this story is cribbed from Burroughs Martian saga. I was not amused. "Call Me Million" is a 'what-if' kind of story that is uniquely written, but never really goes anywhere. Charley is a soul sucker. He eats people's souls and they die. There are no people left to eat except other people eaters. What now? There. You've read the story. Skip it. After reading "Shaffery Among the Immortals" I was hoping that the final story would also feature a complete sad sack so I could say I didn't really like or identify with any of the main characters in these stories. Shaffery is a pathetic loser even compared to Sam and Charley. However, the story was worth reading for the ending. Very fitting. Probably the best story in the book was "The Merchants of Venus." Pohl did a very good job of world-building in regards to the planet, it's atmosphere, it's previous denizens, etc. without bogging the reader down with exposition. I did not disdain the main character. I was rooting for Audee to find what he was looking for. The fact that he was destined to do so was obvious from the first, but the struggle and journey were quite enjoyable to read about. Final take: Skip stories two and three and you have a 4 star book.

My absolute favorite of the series (so far.)
This is not just a history of marriage, but also a history of sex and the relationship between the sexes in the West since the beginning of civilization. It's an essential read for anyone who's wondered what marriage really means or why it began. Squire starts with some acute Biblical analysis, describes ancient Athens, Rome, medieval Europe, and ends with the influence of Martin Luther. The running theme through all this ancient literature is of the good man turned wrong by the conniving temptress. Reading all this at once really humanized these ancient writers for me and made me wonder what kind of bizarre psychological issues these guys of The Church had to make them hate sex so much. Some may think all this 2000 year old history is old news, but considering the Bible is still probably the single most influential book in our society today, in reality it's extremely relevant to understanding the current zeitgeist. Most think we're way past all that misogyny and bigotry, but actually we still have a long way to go.
If you love history, mysteries/serial killers, and pop psychology, then this is the book for you! And me!! One of the ones you can't put down.
