I've finally started reading Gregory Maguire's Wicked, after owning the book for two years and constantly putting it off. I figure I'd better get some reading-of-books-I-already-own out of the way before my Christmas presents from Amazon arrive (they include such books as Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom-- the print version, finally-- and The Wolves of the Calla-- the print version, finally. Hmm, I really don't like reading books on the computer...)
So I decided to start Wicked after listening to some songs from the musical on Rhapsody and becoming enamored of Kristen Chenoweth's performance of "Popular". Plus, I think my mom got us tickets to see the musical, so I want to have read the book first so I can be nice and snarky like all the critics have been. (Stephen Schwartz's most forgettable score, evidentally. I hate it when critics ruin things for me. There are some good songs in there, so far.) Now I am going to order some Chinese food and watch more reruns of Curb Your Enthusiasm. The other day I saw an episode featuring Tim Kazurinsky! Ha ha ha! |
