I recently read "The Kite Runner" and enjoyed it very much. It gave me an appreciation of every day life in a small Afghanistan area and of the large community of Afghanistans who are carving out a life in Fremont, California an area I am quite familiar with. I highly recommend this book.

Last night I finished reading "The Life of Pi", the story of an East Indian boy and his survival tale of living on the sea for 277 days after his freighter was sunk while transporting his fathers zoo animals to Canada. I need to let it simmer for a while before I reach any final conclusions. I did enjoy this fiction, but am not sure I entirely understand it.

Ok tonight I'm back to James Michener's "Hawaii" where the earth spews new life into and upon the sea for eons and many many pages, totally fascinating even though it was written many years ago.
