I used to have an Aunt Ness! (They got divorced.)
Kite Runner pissed me off, but I can see why people liked it.

Jesse, why did it piss you off?
I find the Hosseini pulls all of the sad strings oh so well. I mean, he's practically the Nicholas Sparks of Literary Fiction!

Yep, plus all the supposition that mortgage rates will sink below 5%. Home prices went up 1.1% in the city, but on-market time is up. Plus!!! So tired of dealing with this apartment.

OH! Just finished the book. The ending was oddly hopeful. I remember Kite Runner as being super super super super upsetting and depressing for me. And this one is too. But it ends with hope which I don't remember from the other one.
WAH. What am I going to read next?

I just really didn't like the main character in Kite Runner. Meh.

You might like A Thousand Splendid Suns. Female narrators at least. Both of whom are more sympathetic than the kid in Kite Runner.
What to read next?

Doubtful. Any chance you just switched detergents or something? I know at one point in my babyhood the house had to be purged of Tide (not just my clothes).
