I just discovered this. The biography is a little weird but not totally inaccurate. It's always odd to read about yourself on the interwebz. And it does have all the books in the right order.

Book Recommendation For Everyone:
Invisible Women, Data Bias in a World Designed For Men
by Caroline Criso Perez
paraphrasing:
...so much data fails to take into account gender...and women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, money, and often wtth their lives"

Golden End is out now.
The Gods still walk among mortals.
At a sacred festival, Tirak survives what should have killed him.
His father does not.
Now ancient tablets have fallen into his hands, and the truth buried beneath worship, law, and fear begins to surface.
Dark fantasy. Active Gods. Mortal consequences.

Found an amazing web site with impressive catalog of poetry and literature in Farsi.
I used to have a very large library when I was in Sweden, and took them with me to US when my company moved me there, but I had to gave them away when I went back to take care of my parents, I only kept a few books of Khayyam and Hafez with me.
Finding this site is like a dream come true. It has search function too and sorting the poets based on the timeline, from 11th century to 21st.
