Should I Even Bother?

This is how I feel about writing when I read Khaled Hosseini's work. I mean....DAMN. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN. There is a guy who can write. His books are so emotionally powerful that they make me feel like I need therapy to get over them. Granted, he's starting with an extremely raw emotional palate, but his ability to tell the story in a way that draws you in, makes you truly care about the characters - that's what really gets me. Reading his work churns my stomach, yet I cannot put the books down. Panic attacks can't stop me. Tears on the T can't stop me. I've always enjoyed books that eff me up a little, and these puppies are just the ticket.
