		<description><![CDATA[If I have anything to complain about this book, it&#8217;s that it&#8217;s too short.  We&#8217;re transported into the world of  Marjane Satrapi&#8217;s family for an afternoon, but left wanting more.

Short though it is, it does manage to pack several stories in, from disparate female voices in Satrapi&#8217;s family.  Each woman takes a turn, usually telling [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Azadeh Moaveni published this book slightly too early.  It came out last year before the riots over the election in Iran.  Thus I assume this sequel to Lipstick Jihad will become the second book in a trilogy.

Actually, it is the 2005 election that pulls Moaveni back to Tehran.  There for two weeks before the election, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often talk explicitly about the art when reviewing graphic novels.  To me, the art is usually secondary to the story (and the writing thereof).  But the art in David B.&#8217;s Epileptic blew my mind.

Imagine pages and pages of surreal doodles put together into a narrative.  And what&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s all true.
David B. starts [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Dewey Decimal System!  You have failed!  This book is in the wrong section.  Sure, it&#8217;s with the other books about cartoons and comics in the 740&#8217;s, but it should be with the YA section.  The reading ages is 4-8 for crying out loud!  

When I picked it up, I didn&#8217;t really care that it seemed [...]

Problem #1: The title and subtitle.  If you can&#8217;t see from the picture, it reads, &#8220;How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America.&#8221;  For the most part, this book [...]

Norwegian journalist, Åsne Seierstad, lived with the Kahn family, who owned a small chain of book stores, in Kabul in 2002.  As a more educated family, many of whom spoke English, the Kahns were not necessarily a typical Afghan [...]
