Feeding advice for bantams (one broody, one moulting)

[clucky1]

It isn't often that firstly I get t finish a book as I normally don't seem to have enough time or that I really enjoy the book as I seem to be bad at picking the good ones.

Well - I have just finished reading 'The Kite runner' by Khaled Hosseini .

I just has to post this thread as I still have the tears running down my face and I have been totally effected by the tale - but in a very possitive and uplifting way.

I believe that the book has been around for a while and a friend has mentioned that their was a film out a while back based on the book??

- Wondered if anyone has read the book or seen the film ?

Is it worth me getting the film out on Dvd when it comes out - or is it a poor interpretation ?

I am now looking forward to reading one of the books in the 'book club -thread'. I feel like I have found a love of books -again

So glad you have enjoyed this and rediscovered a love of reading. It's something I've considered "reading" (I have to listen to audio books) and think I will order it from the library after reading your post. I heard about it on radio 4 a while ago when the author was talking about his next book. Hope that you will join in with the book club - sounds like it will be interesting. I've read the first book and got the next one waiting for me at the library.

Ive read that book too - brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!

 

Loved every word on every page - cant praise it high enough.

 

You are right about the film however i never got a chance to see it as it was only on for a limited time at my local picture house but i will be getting it on DVD.

 

My boss, who hates the pictures, did go over the Christmas period and he watched this film and thought it was excellent!

Right - that has decided me - I am picking The Kite Runner as my choice for the book club.

 

I was in a bookshop looking at it yesterday and thinking about it for our book club - then I logged on here this morning and found a message from Cinnamon asking me to put my choice forward now.....

I've got that one lined up to read next.

 

Am looking forward to it all the more now that you have said how much you enjoyed it.

 

I understand the film is harrowing and that the boy has had to go into hiding as a result.

It is a wonderful book - so atmospheric.

I loved it too & am looking forward to reading it again

I will definitly have to get the film then. It's a bit concerning that the actor has had to go into hiding ?

I shall read the book with that review. To be honest I didn't like the look of the book or the film but have a borrowed copy I've not started yet.

I read on Chesil beach last but found it quite depressing.

I joined the library recently and hope to use it regularly.

Kite Runner absolutely amazing - so is A Thousand Splendid Suns also by the same author. Also a book called Purple Hybiscus, can't remember the author though.

The Kite Runner has to be one of my all time favourites, it was so moving and totally unputdownable. I hear from friends that the film was very good too, I will try to see it when it comes out on DVD. I've bought A Thousand Splendid Suns and am keeping it for holiday reading this summer - I can't wait.

 

Perhaps we should have an Omlet online reading group!!!
