Out of these two books that are told in a first person narative, both non-fictional about a women's life growing up in the Middle East, both are New York Times bestsellers, which one should I read as my pleasure book when I'm sick of being on the internet?
The Other Side of the Sky? - Farah Ahmedi
or
The Bookseller of Kabul? - Asne Seierstad
Thank you /book/

You'd better read something else, then. Maybe Persepolis?
OP here. Not that I can that they ARE New York Best sellers, it just says that both on the covers. Ironically enough both books are blue too, so it's kinda hard for me to even judge just by the cover and which one I should read.
And I read Persepolis and loved it.

Why does it matter if you're going to read them both anyway?

Have you ever had two pieces of pie at thanksgiving or something? Ones pumpkin and the other is cherry? You'll eat both in the end, but you REALLY want to have the pumpkin first cause it's so sweet and wet, and then having the lasting flavor of tart cherry with the crunchy and buttery crust? It's like that.

That's not irony, that's marketing to create an illusion of equivalence.

Buy our choco-flakes, they're just like those other choco-flakes you enjoy so much. Also, our shitty animation of Pinocchio is easily mistaken for the Disney DVD! Plus, every other record label is pushing a n-piece boy/girlband and a punky jailbait rocker this year so we've got copies of those for you too.

But they're completely separate unrelated books.
