I want to read Kite Runner. Have you read Life of Pi, GM?

One of my new favorite books is Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of West. An amazing novel. It's a semi-prequel to the Wizard of Oz, recounting the life of the Wicked Witch from her birth to her ultimate demise at the hands of Dorothy.

At first I thought, oh another prequel, this is going to be cheesy. But this is an amazing novel even if it had nothing to do with the original story of Wizard of Oz. Hell, the story of Dorothy is practically a footnote to the novel. Wicked is one of my new favorites, easily.

It's supposedly a hit-musical now, which I didn't know until midway through the book, but of course the book is most likely better.

The last book I read was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.


I'm now juggling between The Portait of the Artist As a Young Man by James Joyce and Franny and Zooery by J.D. Salinger.
