Reading Lolita in Tehran = excellent book
You may also care to pick up a copy of Journey From The Land Of No, by Roya Hakakian.
Her book is about growing up as an Iranian Jew before, during, and after the Islamic Revolution.
Possible spoiler:
I'm sure you'll especially love the part where Roya and a few other Jewish Iranian students were segregated into thier own school, and the Mullah approved teacher tried to convert them to Islam with a convincing speech about the chador.
End spoiler.
It was funny reading about it...though before that, it was best repeated by Roya herself at a book lecture.
