gregmaguire Member	posted 01-12-2006 07:46 PM don't yell at me if this has already been discussed, but i wanted to know what wicked fans were reading now. Im reading Interview With a Vampire. IP: Logged
OvertheMoonforIM Member	posted 01-12-2006 07:50 PM If it has already been discussed then it must be outdated! I am reading Inca Gold by Clive Cussler. It's pretty good. I finished SOAW last night, and it was good, but I didn't "feel the magic" of Wicked or however you want to describe it.

Mistress Hibbins Member	posted 01-13-2006 03:48 PM I am currently reading "The Witch Figure," a collection of scholarly essays dealing with the figure of the witch in legend and folklore. It was compiled in 1973 to honor the 75th birthday of acclaimed British folklorist Katharine M. Briggs. After this, I hope to find a copy of Joris-Karl Huysmans's "La-Bas," which I have been meaning to read for some time. IP: Logged

missnikkaphon Member	posted 01-17-2006 10:24 AM I finally got American Gods (Neil Gaiman)--buying English books in China isn't easy, and I got it when we were in Hong Kong--but am going very slowly because, well, we were traveling in Hong Kong and Macau and have been incredibly busy lately. Still, I'm really glad to finally get to read something of Gaiman's. And, Yero the Hero, I don't know why people care so much that he made it up. Maybe it's just because it was published and marketed as nonfic? IP: Logged

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's a fraud. He did embellish on things in the story but most of it was true. The only information they know that wasn't true was the jail part... because they can't find any records of him ever being in jail. But there really isn't any evidence of anything else being false. Embellished, maybe... but not false. It is a really great book though, I reccommend it! IP: Logged

just call me Elphie Member	posted 01-17-2006 04:54 PM really? the article i read didn't say anything about the hole in the cheek part. that part made me cringe when I read it. and I was practically in pain from reading the dentist part. I guess James is pretty good at imagining terrible painful situations! IP: Logged

I guess James is pretty good at imagining terrible painful situations! Yeah, my paper (the STrib) interviewed a series of airport security officials who said that it is illegal to let somebody on a plane in the kind of state that he claims he was in at the time. Ugh, God, the dentist's is like, my worst nightmare, and reading the no-novacaine root canale... I'm actually kind of glad it's not real. IP: Logged

ElphabaOfOz Member	posted 01-20-2006 06:59 PM I just sort of went on an "Oprah's Book Club" spree...I finished One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Fine Balance and, just yesterday, Elie Weisel's Night. Wow. I was crying during my lunch hour. It's intense. I'm the last one to praise Oprah, but...she does have some good books on her list. IP: Logged
MysteriousElphaba Member	posted 01-20-2006 07:04 PM I read Night too, a few years ago. Very inspiring book. IP: Logged
elphabas_apprentice Member	posted 01-21-2006 01:13 PM I am reading the Other Boyln girl By Philippa Gregory. Its really good, one of the best historical fictions of the Elizabethan age I've ever read. I cant wait to start it's sequals; The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover.

vimfuego Member	posted 01-21-2006 07:56 PM I just started Lost today, it's so different to Wicked I'm only into the second 'stave' though, so still got a good bit to get through. Anyone else read it? IP: Logged
booklady Member	posted 01-21-2006 08:06 PM I enjoyed "Lost". It isn't my favorite & is definitely different from "Wicked." I think it is a very good read. IP: Logged
Wicked191 Member	posted 01-26-2006 02:47 PM at ten thirty this morning i finish SOAW and i now have to choose another book to start reading and i don't think i have many choices my mom gave me some books for Hannukkah and wants me to read them, mainly because i have been reading books that have some relation to theater so, yeah. IP: Logged
vimfuego Member	posted 01-26-2006 02:52 PM I just finished Lost, I really liked it actually - I had been getting bored with it, but it picked up right when I least expected it to I'm going to have to get 'Confessions' and 'Mirror Mirror' now, mustn't neglect the last two IP: Logged

[This message has been edited by lostladyknight (edited 01-21-2006).]** Memoirs is definietly one of the best books ever! Also, yeah, I think you can classify John Frey as a fraud. He made up A LOT of stuff in that book. Did you see him on Oprah yesterday? I still think the book was good, but I've lost respect for the guy. IP: Logged
lostladyknight Moderator	posted 01-27-2006 11:58 AM what are you talking about? Memoirs of a Geisha was writtnen by Arthur Golden... and The Oz chronicles were written by. L. Frank Baum... did I miss something? IP: Logged
booklady Member	posted 01-27-2006 01:08 PM John Frey wrote a book claiming that he was all kinds of a criminal or something. Oprah gave it a lot of publicity by using in her book club. Turns out, he made a lot of stuff up, went on Oprah to apologize, Oprah got all upset, blah, blah, blah. I had never even heard of this guy until the truth came out. I tend to choose my own books. I want to read "Memoirs of a Geisha" but it has been checked out at my library for a while. I put my name on the waiting list. My sister said it is a wonderful book. IP: Logged
