Author Khaled Hosseini said, "It is a tremendous honor to me that The Kite Runner has again been awarded the Reading Group Book of the Year. I am so very proud and moved that four years after its publication, The Kite Runner continues to resonate with reading groups. So many distinguished novels are written every year, so many books to celebrate, which makes this prize that much more meaningful to me. I want to express my appreciation to reading groups for embracing this novel and for being so instrumental in generating the word of mouth that has been this book’s lifeblood. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tashakor!”
