Reading The Kite Runner as a kid left a big impression on me, but honestly, the way I feel about it now, years later, is different.
Back then, I was caught up in the story, feeling the weight of Amir's guilt and betrayal, but as I got older, I began to see more of the complexities.
I understand the deeper themes of redemption and the cost of not facing your past. It makes me feel a mix of sadness and empathy, but also a sense of hope.
There’s something about Amir's journey that feels timeless, like it's still relevant to things I struggle with today, even though it was a book about a completely different world and time.
It stays with you, and I think that's why it still hits me emotionally, even years after reading it.
I do love thought provoking reads more than any else, any other similar books that take you into this sort of flow state?
