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 started reading If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution by Vincent Bevins. Given what's happening around the world in Indonesia, Nepal and others, it feels like we're in the sequel to the Arab Spring and I want to "catch up on the prequel" so to speak.
