Anusha is an artist, a writer...she started developing a story but lacked a character with personality... Both these characte...

A book we all must read...If you haven't don't worry just dig in....

So many books, so little time..

So the first virtual book in your first self to the right is      THE KITE RUNNER - KHALED HOSSEINI This story is based in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul in those years when the Taliban had just started to set up their feet into Afghanistan. Amir the narrator and protagonist, is a very sensitive normal humane character who isn't afraid to feel the way as he does in certain circumstances during the story, he has his flaws and the author isn't afraid to say it aloud.
