Wow, did you see how quickly those women put burkas on? They knew the Taliban had won.
Anyone who wants to read a book about life in Afghanistan - one of the best books I've ever read in my whole life is The Kite Runner.
It's a novel but the author admits a lot of it is autobiographical. He lived in Afghanistan until the 80's and went back to find a friend.
Gripping book; I read it in one sitting.
