A Thousand Splendid Suns – our take | Diversion of Life
https://diversionoflife.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/a-thousand-splendid-suns-our-take
A book club’s beautiful diversion from daily forced-labour called life. A Thousand Splendid Suns – our take. Yet another brilliant book by Khaled Hosseini! Like his debut (another brilliant) novel – The Kite Runner. The beauty of Housseini’s characterization in Splendid Suns, as compared with Kite Runner, is that each character is complex and is not portrayed “in black-and-white.” Here, we are officially disagreeing with the New York Times review. By the turbulence that washes over her. Already Laila...

The Alchemist and us | Diversion of Life
https://diversionoflife.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/the-alchemist-and-us
A book club’s beautiful diversion from daily forced-labour called life. The Alchemist and us. You either love it or hate it there seems to be no middle ground with this book. Our group was not too impressed with the book. Perhaps, it was too hyped up when it came out or may be reading it right after a book like A Thousand Splendid Suns spoiled it for us. In any case, as Debbie put it, our collective reaction about this book was Huh? Type of mythology/treasure hunting, The Secret. Well, the book brings th...

A book club’s beautiful diversion from daily forced-labour called life. A girlie evening with a girlie book. It was a totally girlie evening on 9/17 when we met at Karen’s for our third book club meeting. The book – I Feel Bad About My Neck – calls for girlieness and who better to host it than the one and only Karen? After that, we appreciated even more the chapter in the book – I hate My Purse. The menu – well, the menu that Karen prepared captured the following out of the book:. In honor of the section...
