My favorite text of the year was Persepolis. I have rarely taken a graphic novel completly seriously. They have never been able to paint as beautiful a picture as a regular novel could, despite the plethora of amazing artworks on each and every page. Yet, Persepolis has been one of the few series of graphic novels that I could really enjoy on a serious level. It was depressing, educational, and mildly humorous. This blend of traits boosted this book to a higher level in my opinion with graphic novels, and has gotten me thinking about looking in to others like it.
