读 The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
A moving story paced like a drama.
It's as if I could feel the struggles of the boy,
a boy who made a wrong decision,
a decision that haunted him
till he could atone for his sins many years later.
"There is no act more wretched than stealing.
When you kill a man, you steal a life.
You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father.
When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth.
When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."
...
Only to find that his father had "stolen" all his life.
