Finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

I didn't realise second half will also feature Iran and the life after revolution. A very interesting look at part of recent history I knew nothing about. Highly recommended if you don't mind graphic novels and memoirs.

Also read Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

This is my second book by Scalzi and he is reaching status of my favourite author. It's an easy to read space, military sci-fi. Another highly recommended book for sci-fi fans.

I've been traveling and haven't had as much reading time as I'd like. That said, I've taken a good chunk out of Wind and Truth, Brandon Sanderson, which I've been enjoying! Some of it is ponderous, but much of it feels worthwhile detail and specificity.
