Persepolis
is a humorous and haunting memoir written by Marjane Satrapi. It is the first
time ever that I read a graphic novel and realized that plain text books do not
take advantage of the massive processing power of our minds. The pictures in
Persepolis are absolutely stunning and tell so much more than words do. I have
also seen the movie based on this book but I must say that this book is hundred times
better than the movie based on it. It is a must read book!
I read 2 books from George R.R.Martin's book series 'A song of Ice
and Fire'. The books are way too lengthy and there is lot of information about
characters in it than I cared to know or even equipped to remember! HBO TV show
'Game of Thrones' has done more than justice to this book series.
Other two award winning books that I absolutely didn't like - A wrinkle in time
- Madeleine L'Engle (may be it’s a children's book and I happened to read
it at a wrong phase in life) and Old Man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway.

I read that Kavita Mahajan wrote a graphic novel sometime back. Did you read it?
Also looks like you are on a reading spree. Keep doing it.
Happy Holidays...
Thanks for sharing this one. I read Persepolis. Liked it.
