Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

Nafisi, Azar

So far makes me really want to read Nabokov.
Started 1/15/2007

Finished 8 Nov 2007

A very painful read. I never got a grasp on the characters, and there wasn't a tangible narrative. It was brute will that got me through it.

My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist

Leyner, Mark

Loaned to me by Cory Hain. Really odd, with eerie flashes of truly eccentric topics that I thought interested only me.
