One of my books clubs is reading The Kite Runner (yes, I will be the last person to finally be reading this) this month. Now I must add this one to my TBR to round out my reading about Afganistan. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great review.Maw Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729345911368472119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-90138947270050026702008-02-14T14:33:00.000-08:002008-02-14T14:33:00.000-08:00I loved this book and would like to win a copy to ...I loved this book and would like to win a copy to give to a friend!phxbnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761391408881754659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-81167968437952832782008-02-14T13:08:00.000-08:002008-02-14T13:08:00.000-08:00Please enter me.

I know some of you might want to keep your blogs small and simple, so just LMK.
