What a great reading week for you! Getting to Censoring an Iranian Love Story. Came to it by way of the cover design as so often happens for me. And glad to hear that you enjoyed The Marriage Bureau for Rich People. I keep seeing those great colors and funny title in the book store, and have almost bought it three times. Now I might actually do it. Looks like fun summer reading fare.

Today I am reading Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Happy reading!
