This book is indeed a good read. I find it so fascinating and I think it was very, very well written. I am glad I chose to buy this book instead of a new pair of jeans. XD

This sounds like a great book! I am excited to see that it will be available in 2 days, and am going to be ordering it when I can. I read another book about Iran last year and it was totally fascinating. If you get a chance to read anything else about the area, I really recommend Honeymoon In Tehran. It is non-fiction written by an Iranian journalist. Very good read. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Samson's Walls by Jud Nirenberg =-.

[…] The House of the Mosque by Kader Abdolah. Meghan says: “I found this book totally fascinating. I know so little of Iran, let alone what it’s like to live there, and I really felt like this book put me right in the midst of a revolution. Enough of their culture was established so that I felt terror and confusion just as the house’s residents did, and I was amazed at what some of the family was capable of doing for political purposes.” […]

I know a little about current political Iran, but this would help set the scene. Thanks for recommending it. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..The Husband, by Dean Koontz =-.

I really don't know much about Iran either. I do think it's important to expose ourselves to different cultures -- in person or through books. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking: Chocolate by Max Brenner =-.

I've also found that books with an anti-American sentiment, when properly reasoned, aren't as much as a turnoff as I'd have thought. this sounds fascinating. I have several friends from all walks of life who are Iranian and as a political science major I read a great deal about the region. Unfortunately in the years since graduation, I've moved into field unrelated to teaching history or social sciences and I've fallen off the middle east wagon but I do need to get back on it. .-= Pam´s last blog ..BTT: Preludes =-.

This sounds really wonderful. I don't know much about Iran either but after reading one book last year (Rooftops of Tehran), I was fascinated by the intermingling of religion and politics in the country. .-= Amy´s last blog ..Friday Finds =-.

This book does sound interesting, although not the type of thing I would normally read at all. You're definitely expanding your reading choices this year! .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Caridad Pineiro on M/M Romance =-.
