THE KITE RUNNER (Nov. 2)
A touching story about friendship, forgiveness, and kites. And for those of us without time to read the book, a virtual cinematic CliffsNotes! No need to imagine the beauty and culture of Afghanistan in the 1970s before it became a war-torn, Taliban-inhabited country. But despite the detailed descriptions in the book, I still can't figure out how they wove glass into the kite strings. —Connie Yu
