Wow

Have finished "The Kite Runner." Am emotionally drained.
Am also very grateful that my son and I were born in Canada, especially in New Brunswick, where there are no evil Taliban, just jerk-off politicians, no war, no natural disasters except mosquitos, and where no crazies want to blow us up in the name of Allah, because they don't know we even exist, unlike Toronto or Vancouver.
Feel strong need for chocolate and Jackie Collins.
