We have Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, if you want to borrow that.
I have been planning to read that, too.
First I have to make sure I haven't read anything from Iran, though. Do we consider Gilgamesh Iran?
I don't.
Googling may provide titles, but rarely quality assessment that I can trust. I don't want to waste my time reading shit.
Of the list at the link below, I've heard very good things about Alex Haley's Roots and have been meaning to read it for ages. I'm going to make that mine.
Paul really enjoyed White Teeth.

I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM*

Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM*

Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time.

But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read.

Is The Road really a western, though? *NM*

true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM*
