    I am almost finished with the book, and I have really enjoyed it. It is great to hear that an author is similar in personality in real life to the persona she presents in her writing. I really enjoy her tone. You're right; she is very accessible for an academic.

    Wow! I remember how much you enjoyed her book, and how much Mom did to when she read it. Glad you got to see her in person! What a neat experience.

    Jennifer - I put off reading it for a long time, but then I devoured it. It was truly one of those books that felt like it was written just for me. I'm glad you're enjoying it, too! And now I have a signed copy. :)

    Dad - Yeah, she was great. I'm so glad I was able to see and hear her! If she ever hits WashU or something, you and Mom should go. She's got a cool accent, too. ;) Now I really want to have Lolita in Tehran book group or something, and go through and read Nafisi's book, as well as all the ones she references. I guess I'll put that on the schedule for...2008.
