After reading The Kite Runner and a Thousand Splendid Suns in one week, I was dying to read something light. Enter Drood, by Dan Simmons, which turned out to be the least light-hearted book of all time. It was a so-so 800 page book that would have been a great 300 page book.
Simmons' other big fat horror book The Terror is still one of the greatest things I've ever read.
If the Taliban show up at your door, shoo them away--you shouldn't have to read The Kite Runner to know this.
