I just finished this book and now I'm free to tackle Dead Souls.
But before I start that, I must first recommend The Bookseller of Kabul to you all. Its the true account of a Norwegian journalist (Asne Seierstad) who travels to Afghanistan shortly after 9/11. While there she meets Sultan Khan who owns a bookstore in Kabul. She is fascinated by him and soon asks if she could live with his family and write a book about it. Incredible insight on an everyday family that lives in a troubled part of the world. Most of it is pretty sad. Either way, it may be of interest to some of you.
