There are books everywhere! Rows and rows of books!
And it's open until midnight!
I checked out the following:
An Introduction to Persian, Wheeler McIntosh Thackston, Jr.
Honest to Jesus, Robert W. Funk
Descriptive Grammars: Persian, Shahrzad Mahootian
Táhirih: A Portrait in Poetry - Selected Poems of Qurratu'l-'Ayn
AND, with my Honors library privileges, I get to keep them for three months! Sick!

How are those Persian books? I'm looking for something to keep me fresh during my year of service so I can jump back into the second yer of the language.
They seem pretty good. The "grammar" is all syntax, morphology, phonology, etc., and it doesn't use the Persian script at all; it's all transliterated. The other does use the script and is more of a general introduction, as the title implies.
Unfortunately, there are no longer Persian courses offered here, though the professor that apparently taught them in the past has put the text (which he authored) online:
Persian for Beginners
I've been learning with that as well; it's a pretty good resource.
lemme guess: it's called wilson library, right?
