It's been way too hot in my house (spring weather + stolen AC unit = summer inside when it's spring outside), so I've been reading graphic novels, since they're easier to handle in the heat than dense prose.
First was Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It's the story of her life in Iran, after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. She was a teenager living with revolutionary parents, and the story is very well done. It's sweet and sad and I learned a few things about Iranian history that I didn't know.
I'm looking forward to reading Persepolis 2, so I guess it's safe to say I liked this one.
