60 Weeks 60 Books
Zeba Clarke
60 episodes

In about 60 weeks, I am going to hit 60 years. That’s a big number. It makes you think about what you have done, where you have been, what matters to you. My greatest passion has always been reading, whether that was listening to people read to me, or once I grasped the essentials, reading myself. So this year, I am going to talk about 60 books. I have chosen most of the books already, ten for each decade of my life. Some are classics, some are anything but classic, but I chose them because they shaped me in some way, had some form of lasting impact, and in many cases, are regular re-reads. I hope this will amuse, inspire and entertain you.

Week 49 Reading Lolita in Tehran
Azar Nafisi is an impressive woman, and it is interesting to note that the relatively few dismissive critics of this wonderful book were from a masculine perspective. Women reading, thinking and generating their own ideas and perspectives have always been a threat to the established order. Nafisi's critical memoir explores the how and the why during the 18 years she spent trying to raise a family, maintain a teaching career and keep her veil covering her hair. Just how dangerous it is to challenge the Hijab and Chastity laws enacted in recent months is becoming increasingly clear. But the signs were there from the earliest days of the Iranian revolution and the overthrow of the Shah.
