Really enjoyed persepolis -found it very easy to read and as I had little knowledge about the troubles in Iraq it was an interesting way of getting a load of infomation about a topic that I have always wanted to understand.Always felt that the politics of it all were so huge that to trawl through news infomation would be too long and arduous but to learn it all through the viewpoint of someone involved within it made it very easy.

Err, Persepolis is set in Iran, not Iraq.

 

I am happy to firm up JG Ballard's crash as our book for August meeting.

I had misread it as Iran. Otherwise my comment still applies.
