Reading Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It, and couple of others, were recommended here recently, and is somewhat of a new genre for me, memoir / biography in graphic novel format, graphic memoir?

Got the omnibus edition, "The Complete Persepolis", it's a pretty interesting read. It's about young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution of 1979, at least the first volume, after that it's about her life after that.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm about a quarter of the way through To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus seems like such a decent person in comparison to some of the other characters. The way in which the book is told through the eyes of a kid is expertly done - you really get a sense of their childhood innocence as they come to understand the ways of the world. I'm looking forward to reading on.
