About the book

Barring any surprises in the next few months, the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination is between two first-term U.S. senators - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

In Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream,” the 46-year-old Illinois senator
employs a love of American history and law to lay out his vision for how to restore faith in our economic and political systems.

Book Exploration
By Chuck Bowen

In his first novel The Kite Runner, and now A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini writes about the Afghans caught in the middle of a seemingly endless string of wars and battles for power. Both novels paint a grim and moving picture of life in a war-torn country, and of lives lived in the face of hunger, death and a bleak future. Hosseini makes you realize that, even while bombs rain down and people are dying of hunger, people still fall in love, seek friends and, mostly, try to remain human.
