Definitely go for Fun Home; I remember you commenting that it interested you. This was more enjoyable than Persepolis but I think that the latter is an important text/film for the education it gives.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-47000073497666497862010-01-15T15:19:38.093+00:002010-01-15T15:19:38.093+00:00I still have yet to read Persepolis, but I think I...I still have yet to read Persepolis, but I think I'd like to read this a bit more as I've seen the Persepolis film.

I definitely wanted more. Perfect indeed for Women Unbound and not reading simply to complete a challenge.<br /><br />Vivienne, Satrapi successfully achieves that in this one too and I enjoyed how the serious issues were presented with humour without detracting from their severity. Enjoy Persepolis.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-27414288304190569542010-01-14T12:35:51.645+00:002010-01-14T12:35:51.645+00:00I have just started reading Persepolis and was sur...I have just started reading Persepolis and was surprise dot find the humour in such a serious subject.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-45959910798184221522010-01-14T12:06:49.332+00:002010-01-14T12:06:49.332+00:00sounds very good except for everyone's comment...sounds very good except for everyone's comment that it's too short!

Your library will probably have Persepolis at least, as it has a heightened profile due to the film. Let me know if you'd like to borrow Embroideries - it's so short that you'd probably finish it on the way home from book group!<br /><br />Ana, it was definitely more than just amusing and entertaining. <br /><br />Amanda, if only it had been twice as long.<br /><br />Kals, I think this would make a lovely place to start!
