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?

I finished up “The End of Eternity” and have moved back to a SW book. The next is a short story collection, “Tales of the Bounty Hunters”. Five stories about various bounty hunters a few years after Aldeeran was vanished.

Next will be “The Bicentenial Man” by Isaac Asimov, it’s been made into a major motion picture.
