Thank you sir for ur friendship here on goodreads. I am looking forward for ur books, which are like i am staying in Afghanistan and witnessing the things which i read in ur books.
Dear Mr Hosseini,
I have been writing for 34 years but lacked the courage to pen and publish a full length paperback novel. When I read The Kite Runner, I was awestruck at the guileless beauty of your work. I knew that this was the kind of book I wanted to write, a book that touches the core of the heart and stays there like an eternal flame. I just wanted you to know that your writing has been my inspiration and till I could muster up even half that emotion, I kept my words in limbo. They slipped away sometimes as short stories but then the true tale could wait no more. Thank you for the gift of a book that will stay with me forever. I hope you get a chance to read 'Out With Lanterns'.
Best regards,
Alisha Priti Kirpalani

Khaled,
We are both bay area physicians and writers. I am a huge fan and admirer of your work. My book, "Behind the Gates of Gomorrah, a Year with the Criminally Insane" is out this week from Simon and Schuster. It's about my first year as a psychiatrist at Napa State Hospital. I had hit a dull patch in the first draft of the ms. I read all three of your books in a week and suddenly everything was clear on how the ms should finish. It did and it sold. Thanks. All my best, Stephen Seager
