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?

Pynchon can be hard to read, but I find his opaqueness is not ubiquitous - e.g. in Gravity’s Rainbow only the first part of the book (Beyond the Zero) was incomprehensible. Inherent Vice and Crying of Lot 49 were not particularly opaque, either.
