The Kite Runner

 Hi Bookworms!

Thank you for a very stimulating meeting last Friday, it was great to meet you all! I really enjoyed discussing why shared reading matters and found very refreshing your predictions about The Kite Runner, the first English-language fiction written about Afghanistan, by Khaled Hosseini, a former Afghan doctor who fled his native country in 1980, shortly after the outbreak of their civil war.

Here’s our calendar of virtual meetings for 2021.

BOOK 1	The Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini	January, 29
BOOK 2	Never Let Me Go Kazuo Ishiguro	March, 5
BOOK 3	The Catcher in the Rye J.D. Salinger	April, 30
