Unpopular opinion: Graphic novels as book club material finally won me over

I always saw them as lightweight compared to traditional novels, but our debate on 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi changed my mind completely. The blend of art and narrative sparked a more nuanced conversation about cultural identity than any text-heavy book we've picked.

Lightweight compared to traditional novels? Our Persepolis debate had more substance than our last three novel-only picks combined.

Your emphasis on 'more substance' got me thinking about how graphic novels often leave room for personal interpretation in the artwork. That visual ambiguity can spark debates that text-heavy books might prematurely resolve.

A friend debated a Persepolis panel for days before @mia688 intervened.
