It had been some time now since I devoted time to book reading.
1st about the previous book I was reading :
Persepolis : This was my first graphical novel that I read.
One comes to know a lot about life in Iran during 1980s- The Revolution and Post revolution days as well as the Iran-Iraq war.
Plus how the author (basically Iranian born) went to Austria and her experiences there.
Overall, a good read if one is interested in graphical novels.
One downside was the small print size, which can be straining to the eyes.
2nd: My new read : Former Indian Cricketer and Captain Sunil Gavaskar's Straight drive : published 2009
I was in mood for a new Non-fiction book as well.
So here comes this book which has compilation of Gavaskar's columns written in different newspapers, magazines etc over the years.
I am enjoying a frank and gripping manner of what all Gavaskar has to say; albeit controversial sometimes.
I will perhaps share the pictures a little later.

@CarolDM I wrote 8 books (and 1 play)--didn't make me rich but each was a great experience!

They sound like very deep and engrossing books.

Plus with variety. One is of one's life in the bygone years and the second is a collection of newspaper columns and articles.
