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?

From what I understand, the 'sequel' is actually just a first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. And it sounds like some dodgy stuff went on with the publishing - if it was a genuine sequel, why would Harper Lee sit on it for so long? In my mind, TKAM is the only book she wanted to publish and the only genuine story of Atticus.
