Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in BooksEvery Thursday morning for two years in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Azar Nafisi, a bold and inspired teacher, secretly gathered seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden Western classics. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; some had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they removed their veils
Every Thursday morning for two years in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Azar Nafisi, a bold and inspired teacher, secretly gathered seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden Western classics. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; some had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they removed their veils and began to speak more freely-their stories intertwining with the novels they were reading by Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, and Vladimir Nabokov. As Islamic morality squads staged arbitrary raids in Tehran, as fundamentalists seized hold of the universities and a blind censor stifled artistic expression, the women in Nafisi's living room spoke not only of the books they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Azar Nafisi's luminous masterwork gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women's lives in revolutionary Iran. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, a remarkable exploration of resilience in the face of tyranny, and a celebration of the liberating power of literature.Binding Type: Paperback

Squeaks for a while
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
I've got probably 10 of these, now. The squeaker fails pretty quickly. But our dog still likes them, just not as much as when they squeak. I'm tossing these a good 75 yards and farther. The Chuckit glowballs make sounds through their holes so no separate squeakers there. Dog really likes those glowballs.

Great quality but the squeaker doesn't last long - still a good value
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
I have golden retrievers who never get tired of playing balls. These are VERY durable. No seams to split. They tend to chew as they bring the balls back, so the squeaker doesn't last long. Would highly recommend these. I have them on auto-delivery!

Highly recommend
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
My dog loves these! They are now his absolute favorite! The squeaker lasts a lot longer than most. The rubber isn’t hard on his teeth and he likes how squishy they are and continues to play with it long after the squeaker dies. Highly recommend and will be buying more

Great fetch toy.
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
My dog loves these balls. They are a bit softer than the normal ones and bounce well. The squeaker is not too loud but definitely makes the ball more interesting. I highly recommend these.
