I too tried to read stories out of order, which didn't work so well for me. I ended up reading "The Story of the Porter and the Ladies of Baghdad, and the of Three Royal Mendicants, Etc.," "The Story of the Merchant and the Jinni," and "The Story of the First Sheykh and the Gazelle," as well as the introduction, all on the Harvard Classics site. I agree that the experience was very like reading a blog. I'm looking forward to exploring the connections between these stories and Persepolis, because to me the styles seemed very different.
