Cats and Kite Runners

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett (368 pages) - A hilarious young adult book about a cat and a bunch of rats who eat something that turns them into "people", that is they have thoughts and are self-aware. Includes a cat's reflection on his conscious, rat theology, and a stupid-looking boy.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (400 pages) - An intense book about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan then moves to America when his country goes to the Taliban. He packs a lot into 400 pages. Please read this one so I can talk to you about it...
