Okay so Good Reads is the nerdy answer to Facebook... and of course I'm a member aggressively hustling to get as many friends as possible, but there's one strange thing that's puzzling me. Is it me or is it odd that there a ton of Iranian readers on the site? Is this some vast Persian conspiracy going on? I get at least 10 invites a day from people from Tehran and while I'm totally chill on being friends with people from a groovy city like Tehran part of me thinks something is up? But then again, I thought the bus dispatcher guy at 106th street and Broadway was running a gambling ring, when he was really just checking the bus times to make sure everyone was on schedule.
