I do believe I'll go with Holmes. For two reasons Myrdhyn Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 07:34:37 PM
1) Mystery novels of any sort are WAY out of my comfort zone. I normally dislike them whenever I've tried to read them in the past.

2) It's a free Kindle book, so no money or illegality necessary to expand my horizons.

I must admit, though, the brief synopsis I read on The Kite Runner sounded pretty interesting.
