reading / more irving and something persian

july was my vacation month. survived a small fire that 'interfered' with our plans in tahoe. but after that, it was a very nice month. good to get away from the county for a tad bit. i also had an opportunity to read again.

i devoured tara bahrampour's to see and to see again. i have to agree with nearly everyone else on the 'net who enjoyed this book. it's really a must read for any iranian who came to the united states at the time of the iranian revolution. after that, i inhaled irving's a prayer for owen meany. in case you haven't seen the movie Simon Birch, do yourself a favor and read the book. i love irving... can't decide which i liked better, though... Widow for a Year was wonderful but depressing. Owen was tragic but fun. you really should read them both.
