| | 1. |  | Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
from Pantheon
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
With Marjane Satrapi's animated film playing in theatres and available on disc, I almost jumped at the chance to read her book, the part-comic/part-memoir of Satrapi's childhood in Tehran, Iran.
To avoid confusion with more current events, `Marji' (as she was called as a child) recalls her... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
It took forever for me to start this book because I didn't think I would like it. However, It was extremely well-written...I thought that the weaving of the history of Tehran with the story of the girls/women in the book club with the review of the books (the great gatsby, Lolita, and Daisy Miller)... more info

| | 3. |  | Persepolis Boxed Set
from Pantheon

Customer Review:
What a fantastic graphic novel! If you normally don't read graphic novels (or comic books), don't be afraid, the pictures won't hurt you and the stories are only enhanced by this format. Buy the box set because the first book will only leave you wanting more.
The books are composed of short... more info

| | 5. |  | The Nightingale's Song
from Free Press
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
The "Nightingales's Song" is a remarkable story. I know three of the five characters, (McCain, McFarlane, and Webb), and truly admire them all. This book is a great piece of reporting, and is more relevant today than it was when it was first published. Admiral Jim Stavridis, still on the front lines... more info

from Vintage

Customer Review:
I read this book twice both in Persian & English and found lots of historical errors in the book such as claims that PM Mossadeq was democratically elected back in 1950s which is totally wrong. PM Mossadeq was APPOINTED as PM by the King of Iran, Shah Reza Pahlavi in 1950 and when ordered to... more info

| | 10. |  | A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind
from Basic Books
Price: $18.15
Customer Review:
Since I plan to visit Iran in the fall of 09, I bought this book. The first half was detailed and pretty dull, but after 1900 it was interesting and the last two chapters covering the period of my life was great. The description of "now" was very interesting. I hope I can get a visa with an Isreal... more info
