Angela Beard | 9 comments Loved The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald . It was my first Fitzgerald novel and his writing is exquisite. The story sure took some twists I didn't expect, also!! On to The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Angela Beard | 9 comments 110 pages in to The Kite Runner. Kind of making me sick.....but I think it's supposed to.

Dave I'm saving Frankenstein for October! Planning to read some of the longer ones in summer when there's plenty of beach and hammock time.

Dave (adh3) | 924 comments Angela, I am also reading “The Kite Runner�. So far it is heartbreaking and grim. But very good.

Somehow he manages to be heartbreaking and grim without being hopeless. Finished this afternoon, looking forward to hearing how you like it.
