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?

    Just finished System Collapse by Martha Wells (book seven in the Murderbot series). I liked all the books in this series, and they are an easy recommend!

    Currently reading How to be Perfect by Michael Schur and Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann.

    How to be Perfect is a good intro to ethics written by the creator of The Good Place. If you’re interested in learning about ethics and don’t know where to start I’d recommend it.

    I’m only a couple chapters into Three Bags Full, so I don’t have much to say yet. The premise is a flock of sheep solving the murder of their herder. It’s enjoyable so far.

      Three Bags Full sounds interesting, would love to hear your opinion after you have finished it.
