lady_schrapnellMy 48 hours aren't actually up until 11, so two more hours to go, but I'm going to post this and then call it quits, doing my final tally of hours and books read tomorrow morning, while Younger Daughter is doing maths paper 2. (Only 1 in 5 leaving cert students are doing honours maths, I discovered yesterday, which I thought surprisingly low.)
Anyway, my fifth finished book was Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi, and I really, seriously can't think of anything new - or needful - to say about it, given its fame. I hadn't realised that it ended so abruptly, and unfinished-feelingly, though I knew little about it before starting, and maybe that was just me, and I could have got the second book two, so I should have been warned by that at least. But it was very impressive, and very well done, and I liked the artwork, and despite apparently not being a graphic novel type of person, I was still very glad to have read it.
That's all I've got (aside from an oncoming flattening headache) for now - sorry!
