Reading Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It, and couple of others, were recommended here recently, and is somewhat of a new genre for me, memoir / biography in graphic novel format, graphic memoir?

Got the omnibus edition, "The Complete Persepolis", it's a pretty interesting read. It's about young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution of 1979, at least the first volume, after that it's about her life after that.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Thank you for the synopsis! I think I'll give them a read then

Don’t know how much it matters to you, but I read them in publishing order. He wrote two books 40 years later as I mentioned, and one is a prequel, and one is a sequel. So depending on your preference…

I wouldn’t worry too much about the future storylines and why they aren’t happening together, they stand alone in their own, one to mention specifically was the end of last season teaser, the mind control guy. That’s the second book, but takes place well after Hari is gone. But the seeds he sowed… yeah read it.
