.Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America by: Firoozeh Dumas January 13, 2004 The only folks this book maybe funny to are the type of Iranians who have little mastery of the English language. I found the writing skill to be too elementary for anyone with educations beyond the high school level. I have to say that I have not read the Farsi translation of it which incidentally I have heard is much better than its English version. >>See More Reviews & Details on Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America |

.Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of an Iranian American, at Home and Abroad by: Firoozeh Dumas April 29, 2008 I don't remember the last time I read a book that made me laugh out loud. As I read this book, I laughed often as I recognized myself and my family within the pages. In this collection of essays, Dumas describes her experiences while growing up in Iran and her life in the U.S. Dumas' writing is honest, light, and laced with humor. Her stories are simple, yet powerful. This book is a fabulous reminder that our similarities far outweigh our differences- regardless of our cultural background. I can't wait to read "Funny in Farsi." >>See More Reviews & Details on Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of an Iranian American, at Home and Abroad |

.My California: Journeys By Great Writers by: Michael Chabon 2004-06 Generally, I like to recycle, and while I'm reading a book, I'm thinking about who I will pass it on to. The same was true with this book--but I asked the person to whom I loaned it to return it to me, because I wanted to keep it forever. She didn't--so I bought a replacement copy, which I won't loan out again. I really do love this collection by talented writers. I'm a native Californian, and I enjoyed reading about places in my birth state. But the best part of this book is the quality of the writing. Really rich, wonderful stuff here. >>See More Reviews & Details on My California: Journeys By Great Writers |
