I see that the Guardian has published its list of the 50 “books of the decade” with comments from a variety of authors and critics. It’s worth reading their comments for insight.

A few years ago I listened to A Thousand Splendid Suns by this author and found it dark and dreary. I wished I had read instead of listened to it because I sensed I would have enjoyed it much more. But because it was quite depressing to me, I put off reading The Kite Runner . About all I knew was it took place in Afghanistan; and I haven't really liked the books I've read about that country.
