Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Federal Republic of Persagonia ✺ "Jewel of the Middle East"
After the 1979 Revolution that saw the fall of the Shah, Persagonia has re-emerged itself from the ashes of Iran. Persagonia has proven herself to be the dominant secular and democratic power in the Middle East, both politically and economically.

Ettela'at News: Persagonian and Saudi relations deteriotes even further after accusations of Persagonian support for republicanist opposition parties. Both nations are now on the verge of a Middle Eastern Cold War, said Persagonian diplomat.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

I'm reading Leia by Claudia Gray and it is amazing so far.

I'd definitely recommend it if you're interested in Star Wars.
