Book.

One or two weeks ago, I borrowed a story book entitled 'The Kite Runner' written by Khaled Hosseini from Wai Ling and I tried to delay my reading time which it works fine because I didn't read past 3o pages until today when I finished the whole book in less than 5 hours.

So tell me, what's the point of delaying it in the first place when I am going to finish it too soon again.

The main point is, it is a very good book to read.

Probably its just me but I found this book heart-wrenching. The sweet fond memories of narrator's childhood brings smile to my face but it is also the childhood memories that brings tears rolling down my face. Of so many books I have read, rarely any books made me cry. The first one will be Harry Potter where Sirius died and so many other scenes that is worth crying such as when Fred lost a ear and George died, then 'P.S I Love You' that made me shed a few tears but the only book that made tears rolling down so many times and crying hard is 'The Kite Runner'. Usually, when I read a book, I put myself in the character's place. By far, this book made it even more surreal. The emotions are overwhelming and rushing out.

Even after I am taking a short break, I managed to make myself cry again by thinking back the story and before I knew it, I am reaching out for the book just to get more tears out of the system.
