current read

before my exams started, i went popular to get some writing materials. i also did some browsing of the books they displayed on the shelf, and came across this one.

afghanistan in the 1970s. when amir was little he lived with his rich and successful father in a beautiful mansion his father built. he wants to win his father's approval and determines to win the kite-fighting tournament. his friend hassan will help him. hassan is a low-caste servant, and always his trusted buddy. however, something happened to hassan that afternoon which changed their lives forever. then there was the invasion of the russians, which forced amir and his family to run from their homes. hmm... what exactly happened?

sudden interest in a different kind of writing, so i bought this book.
