Mini-Book Reviews: Reading Lolita in Tehran and Comfort Me with Apples

I finished two books over the weekend: Reading Lolita in Tehran and Comfort Me with Apples. I call these mini-reviews because they aren't really reviews at all. I don't have time :). They are both good in different ways (and, interestingly, they are both memoirs). Reading Lolita provides a good description of modern-day Iran - based on one woman's experience. Comfort Me with Apples is a fast read (I always like those), but it's too "oh-my-life-is-so-difficult-even-though-I'm-a-well-paid-restaurant-critic" for me.
