What's the last book that you read?

If you liked that book then I recommend reading a book called "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi. She's a literature professor and they tell her that she shouldn't read Western novels and teach them in cl. She is eventually fired and lives at home. She starts a book club with some of her former students and there is a whole section in the book devoted to that book. It explains more about it and her views on what some of it means. Just from reading that book, I now want to read "The Great Gatsby." To make it even better, the entire thing is a true story, it's a little confusing sometimes, but definately worth it.
