![“There is an energy, a romance in writing the first novel that can never be duplicated again. I was entirely absorbed in that world as I wrote the book [The Kite Runner] and to see the final page of that manuscript whir out of the printer was a very special feeling indeed.” quote by Khaled Hosseini](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/a1f/khaled-hosseini-251_book_there-is-an-energy-a-romance-in-writing_1384084.png)
