Into Thin Air by John Krakauer. This will make our next stop on the literary tour mount Everest. Should be thrilling, exciting and maybe a little dangerous! But most likely a little bit sad as well.

The Kite Runner by, Khaled Hosseini. By reading this one, we will make a stop in Afghanistan. We will experience friendship, war, fallen monarchies, being a refugee and kite flying (?). I'm very interested in reading this one and then maybe I'll see the movie adaptation.

The Patriots by, James Wesley Rawles. I don't know a lot about this book. It's about survivalist during an economic meltdown in the United States. This journey will take us from the midwest to Idaho and maybe a few places in between.

I'm really excited to read all of these books so I just can't decide and I'll be done with the other one really soon. So let me know what you all think. I'll post a poll on my side bar. First time I've ever done that.....

ps. I love that your exploring new reads!! Too FUN!
Read The Kite Runner next. It is so good. Very Sad but very poignant. Some People think its a little too shocking but I could not put it down!
patriots sounds interesting. I'll have to put it on my to read list. Read the other two "these is my words" books they are good too! The 2nd book "sarah's quilt" isn't as good as the first but I enjoyed the 3rd "Star garden" just as much as the 1st!
I'm probably not your literary model, but I found 'Kite Runner' a little too telegraphed, predictable, orchestrated.
Just thought I'd stop by and say HELLO to my new BFF!! lol
How are you liking These is my words?!? I just read that! I LOVE It! If you need some suggestions, give me a call... I just read a few really darling and deep novels!
