Reading Tony Robbins in Tehran

Headline from the Christian Science Monitor: "What they're reading in Tehran":

Well, they ARE reading Tony Robbins. They're also reading "Harry Potter," "The Kite Runner," and "The Secret," the last of which really concerns me. If they all start wishing for, say, the destruction of Israel, doesn't that mean it's inevitable?

As for me: I'm planning to release a series of popular books edited for discriminating Iranian readers (and censors). Some possible titles:

"If You Give a Jew a Country"
"Mullah Poppins"
"A Tale of Two Cities, One of Which is Tel Aviv and Will Be Wiped from the Map"
"Prejudice & Prejudice"
"Reading Lolita in Tehran is a Crime"
"Night" (With an alternate ending, as well as an alternate beginning and middle)
"Brave Jew World"

A work in progress, I admit.
