Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books
by Azar Nafisi
Everyone should read this book. Ms. Nafisi bravely shows her thoughts and experiences, and those of her students, through discussions and reflections on great works of literature. Besides being grateful for the insights into Iranian life, I have greatly expanded my "virtual library" (otherwise known as my Amazon wish list). So far, the only book I have read (that I hadn't already read) is Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, but that's my own fault.
Anyone who cares about literature should read this book.
