The "untaught sallies" of a Mom/English Teacher

This blog chronicles my random thoughts and interests. I use it as a place to publish my writing and share my thoughts with others. I hope you enjoy it; although, the content might be extremely boring for some!

Right now, I am focusing on the reading I am doing this year. There are SPOILERS in the entries for each book! Please do not read my responses if you are going to be upset by the spoilers!

Persepolis

Persepolis is easily one of the best books I have ever read. How a graphic novel like Watchmen got on to the 100 Best Novels of All Time when there are stories like this one in the medium, I'll never know. The story of a villified country as told by a young girl, Persepolis chronicles the Iranian conversion to Islamic extremism in a comprehensible way.
