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?

    Thanks, I think I’ll try with Nettle & Bone first, but will pick up World of the White Rat if that isn’t available.

      Just as an aside “World of the White Rat” is kind of the overarching term for the interconnected books. The series are Clocktaur War duology, Swordheart (eventually to become a trilogy, but works as a standalone), and the Saint of Steel (the paladins I mentioned) series.
