The 2008 selection for the Big Read is Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America.

Join the community in reading this light, humorous and heartwarming memoir by Firoozeh Dumas.  This is not just her own story, her family members are colorful characters who all play a part in her memories.  Language barriers, culture shock and everything else that went along with their move to California in the early 70s lead to big and small adventures along the way. This story of adjustments to American life make for an easy and entertaining read.

Find out more about this year’s Big Read author at her website.

Look for more information about the Big Read coming soon. The kick-off is scheduled for early March and will conclude the first weekend of May with your chance to meet Firoozeh Dumas in person!

Be sure to visit this site often for details about all of the discussion group plans and activities.
