I would like you to read the book and post your opinions and thoughts about the book here. Also if there are any quotes that you particularly liked from the book, you are welcome to post them here,
Here are the questions that we discussed today and some that we didn't:
1. What did you learn about Afghanistan? What did you learn about friendship, forgiveness, redemption and love?
2. Who suffers the most in the Kite Runner?
3. Were you surprised to learn about the racial tension between the Pashtuns and Hazaras in Afghanistan? Can you think of any culture in the world without a history of oppression? Why do you think minority groups are oppressed so often?
4. What did you like about Baba? What did you dislike about him? How was he different in the US from what he was like in Afghanistan? Did he love Amir?
5. How did learning that Hassan is Baba's son change your understanding of Baba?
6. Why did Amir act so hatefully toward Hassan after he saw him raped? Why did Hassan still love Amir?
7. Did Amir ever redeem himself?
8. What do you think happened to Sohrab?
9. Rate the book on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest) and explain your answer.
I would appreciate your comments. :)

I love this song! This song was played in the film when Amir went to mosque for the first time in a long time.
