to: Cultural Theory And Popular Culture: A Reader (Paperback)byJohn Storey
Good intro. I have my unsurprising issues with excerpted text as a means to understanding a historical period, but this is a solid introduction to what are considered "pivotal texts" in the field.

to: Exit Wounds (Hardcover)byRutu Modan
Loved the simple graphical representation in this, the greyed out backgrounds. Story is an interesting companion to Sacco's Palestine, very different experiences of place. Haven't quite figured out the representation of women in it yet.

Twilight (Twilight, #1)
byStephenie Meyer
OKAY YES I READ IT. Actually, given to me by a non-booky-type as a must-read, and an interesting cultural artifact in that sense. I kinda thought it was junky foodie fiction, but don't get me wrong - I ate it!

Jeni's review of
Persepolis 1: The Story of a Childhood byMarjane Satrapi
No, haven't seen it yet, but looking forward to it! - I missed seeing it with a friend from Iran when it came out, so I've promised to check it out with her when I'm home for Thanksgiving. A truly remarkable, honest book, so I have high hopes for the movie. :)
