It's been a while. Since I've read a novel. Short stories, fanfiction, yes. I've started some novels and never finished them. Reading has felt like a chore for such a long time. But this is like having your heart broken in 18 places and swearing off love forever, and then finding someone who might actually be worth a damn. And falling in love. And staying in love forever.
That is how the Kite Runner has made me feel. I will forever ever ever love this book for reteaching me the value of the written word. My eyes hurt whenever I blink, they're puffy as hell and red too, and I feel a slight headache coming on. But everything, EVERYTHING, in that damn book has made me feel like a completely different person. I went ahead thinking that book would be shit. I thought I was only reading it out of courtesy for my friend who bought it for my birthday.
Complete opposite. I fucking love this feeling, and I hate hate hate that I lost it.
