Oops

I know I didn't post on Sunday....but, this is counting as Sunday's post because I said so :) I was dealing with a sick kiddo all day. Yes, I know he's 10 but, that doesn't mean I give him any less attention or any less of my time than when he was 3 and sick. I also was having a purely craptastic day with my back so doing anything at all seemed to take 3 times as long. And I had to of course rest for a bit in-between. Aging can bite the big one for all I'm concerned.

I finished "The Kite Runner" tonight. Saddest effing book I have EVER read. And trust me...I tend to gravitate towards the sad and tortured souls books. So, I have no shortage of material to compare it to. That being said...I recommend that everyone read it. It was powerful and amazing. The author, Khaled Hosseini made some very difficult subject matters bearable to read, he threaded this story so masterfully...it was complex and covered many decades and many characters but, never once do you feel lost or confused. I learned a lot and maybe one day I'll read it again...I have a feeling there were things I missed the 1st time...subtle details.

I need to give myself a little break to recover then, I'm on to either the final 2 "Dexter" books, or "The Hunger Games."

Thank you for reading...this was post 23 of 31 :)
