On a related note, as soon as I saw the title of the thread, I knew who started it.

On another related note, I just finished reading Reading 'Lolita' in Tehran, which I highly recommend. Large sections of it take place during the Revolution and I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know before- like that it wasn't as simple as the religious right took over- in fact, the Shah was overthrown and then there was a real struggle between the secularists and the religious over control, with religion winning out. Interesting stuff. And made me want to reread The Great Gatsby.
