I finally just bought it.

I know you don’t need more book recommendations, but if you want nonfiction and you felt (as you TOTALLY DID) the same way I did about Persepolis 1 and 2, I would recommend Reading Lolita in Tehran. I really liked that one. I read it around the same time as Persepolis, and it was a different take on the effects of the revolution.

I haven’t read The Kite Runner, but another recommendation in the same family (that family being Books You Keep Seeing People Reading Out In The World, I cannot recommend Life of Pi strongly enough. I LOVED that book.

Lastly, I didn’t hate the third Artemis Fowl book (The Eternity Code), but I *was* really disappointed in the fourth one (The Opal Deception). So you could leave those behind without much grief.

I wish I could recommend something to replace them. Have you read The City of Ember? I loved that one, and it takes about forty-five minutes to read. Did not care for the sequel.

I need a new YA series!
