Persepolis Now

If you aren't familiar with Marjane Satrapi's graphic novels or her movie, "Persepolis," now's the time to read them. In these stories, she reveals what it was like to grow up as a young girl during the Iranian revolution, and all the changes it brought to her life and to her family.

With all the events going on in Iran right now, I highly recommend that you read the book(s) and rent the movie. It's an amazing, moving story, and somehow again, very timely.
