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?

Just finished Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward. Her books are always very twisty and I love them.

Now rereading The Damnation Game by Clive Barker. I remember it has some delightfully disturbing body horror, but cant remember anything about the story.

Also reading Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken, all about the current science on ultra-processed foods. Highly recommend.

Ultra-Processed People has been on my wishlist for a while, but completely forgot about that. Will check if they have a copy on my next visit to bookshop. Thanks for the recommendation!
