I had planned to spend the day doing some fits. But in the afternoon
I read "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi instead. This is a graphical
novel about a woman's upbringing in Iran and Austria.
The book hooked me in so that I had to finish it in one
session.
It was interesting to read about the problems of growing up in Iran. However, the author seemed very self centered, and would probably annoy me if we ever met. When she came back to Iramn, I was expecting that her parents were driven into poverty, because they had to pay for her bring abroad, but no, they had disposable income.
The last paragraph seems a wee bit critical, she did stand up to authority in a way I can't be bothered to do. She also looks cute on the wikipedia page.
I now know about Iran.
