Is The Kite Runner (#122) set in Maine? I seem to remember it was (partly) set in California or something but I admit I'm not sure :-)

(bad memory here however) Maybe I am thinking of A Thousand Splendid Suns which I liked much better.

But judging from your comment, it turns out it was California and not Maine. Pfff, quite a relief to find out I'm not turning senile :-)
(Haven't read A Thousand Splendid Suns by the way, as I wasn't overly impressed with The Kite Runner)
A Thousand Splendid Suns is far far better than The Kite Runner but its also very depressing about these 2 abused women! I quit on his third book as it was so awful. Something bout The Mountains Echoed.

Something bout The Mountains Ec..."Everyone was raving about The Kite Runner and as it fitted a challenge I took part in, I decided to read it. But it didn't invite me to read more by the same author ;-)
I've removed The Kite Runner from this list, by the way, as it didn't meet the list's criteria.
