Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

The narration was spot on. The reference of time & descriptions were perfect. I especially liked as she retold the story.

The sequel you’ve been waiting for: the follow-up to the sensational number-one best seller The Devil Wears Prada. Andrea "Andy" Sachs is on top of the world, running her own very successful high-fashion bridal magazine. But she got there with the help of her rolodex - actually, the rolodex of Miranda Priestly, her former nightmare of a boss. As Andy's success grows, she realizes she'll soon have to face Miranda. Still, Andy can hardly anticipate the horrifying reality that’s approaching - a reversal so profound that she will be squarely in Miranda’s crosshairs once more.

I was excited when I learned of this sequel. Enjoyed the book. I'm tempted to go back to read The Devil Wears Prada. Although I already watched the movie several times.

When Jamie Maslin decides to hitchhike the entire length of the Silk Road, he decides to travel first and plan later. Then, unexpectedly stranded in Iran - a country he's only read about in newspapers - he wonders whether he'll make it out alive. After crossing the border on foot from Turkey, Maslin finds himself suddenly plunged into the subversive, contradictory world of Iranian subculture, where he is embraced by locals who are happy to show him the true Iran as they see it....

Revisado: 04-18-14
What made the experience of listening to Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn the most enjoyable?
The narrator read as if he were in the present time. This book is the first book that as soon as the book ended I hit restart within seconds to hear all over again!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn?
The feedback regarding the welcoming & giving nature of the Iranian people (not to be confused with the Iranian Govt.) The scenery was described majestically.
Which character – as performed by Stephen Hoye – was your favorite?
Jamie Maslin
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes. I listened to it while walking the dog & sewing.
Any additional comments?
All Americans should read this book BEFORE characterizing all Iranians in the Access of Evil Box! Made me want to travel there as well, however as a woman I don't think I would be as welcomed as Jamie was...
