I finished reading "Reading Lolita in Tehran" last summer.

Loved the part about Ayatollah (you-so) Khomeini's ruling about whether it was legitimate to have sex with a chicken and sell that chicken to your neighbor. The decision was something like yes, you can sell it, but only to people who live several blocks away. The Iranian diplomats, chagrined by some of these nut job decisions, reissued Khomeini's work in abridged form lest people get the right impression about their theocracy. A constant hoot!
