    Gregory Maguire: Wicked

    Yeah. I agree. I recently tried another book of his though--Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. I had low expectations but ended up loving it. It was MUCH better than Wicked. Maybe try again with Confessions. It took me 2 years to want to try again, but I'm glad I did.

    merry christmas from me and mine!

    I thank you as well for the nice message. It was very thoughtful of you to convince Santa to give me something even when I'd been naughty. I had been wondering who mrs.claus was!

    Randomness! Yay!

    Grr. The key won't drag in to the lock. My computer (and/or me) is retarded. It's officially christmas now for me, so I think I'll head to bed. Merry Christmas!

    Randomness! Yay!

    ooOOoo, thanks for the flowers! I like wildflowers and regular ones alike, and Gem is welcome to pick over my flower garden any time she chooses. It's only 11:36 here...(at my parents house anyway...stanford's got an extra hour), so I'll just hang on a bit longer.

    Who here speaks more than one language?

    No, I don't know latin--it's my father who does. That's so sad about the open door!! I will lament the loss of the open door. Next time...maybe you could send me a PM?

    Randomness! Yay!

    I will take any and all stalkers available. Being stalked is sort of romantic, after all. I accept flowers too.

    Book suggestions - a female lead

    I can't think of very many fantasy books I've read that don't have female leads. Here are a few girl-lead fantasies I've read and enjoyed (in order of liked best to least): Diplomacy of Wolves, (book one in a trilogy) by Holly Lisle Green Rider, (book one in a trilogy) by Kristen Britain...

    Randomness! Yay!

    You can't just not know what you are talking about. I don't know what they do in London, but here in Stanford we never say things we don't mean...it's just not the done thing.

    Ayn Rand

    A is A has a nice ring to it. I guess I thought of mathematic variables when I saw that. A = A and nothing can disprove that. I think A is A is a good example for her to use. I don't know how else you would say it when any other thing you could come up with instead of A would be named by...

    4? As in, 4 people who read this thread, or 4 people who think I have an accent? If the second, then you're wrong. It's 5 now. mwahahaha

    Shudder...I have a stalker.

    Hello again! It's me!

    I don't work there anymore (I cannot begin to express how glad I am of this). School is in session again, and I'm finishing up my masters degree.

    Ayn Rand

    From this website: If I remember correctly, the book is split into 3 parts, and “A is A” is the name of the third part. It’s also mentioned within the text.

    Sophie Kinsella

    It's the same with me. Most of the chick lit books I've read were a waste of time, but Sophie Kinsella's books were great. Very funny. Except her shopaholic series waxes a bit too long.

    Grass mazes?

    Well, there's The China Garden, by Liz Berry. That's a bit of a stretch though. It is a fantasy and a maze is central to the story, but the cover isn't green.

    Ayn Rand

    I am a big Ayn Rand fan--and I did start with the biggest first and work down. I didn't know about her smaller works initially. Atlas Shrugged has been my favorite book for years now. It's her writing style that I love. I also like deep character development and intricate plots, and that...

    Anne Bronte: Agnes Grey

    I've just read this book and really enjoyed it. I often hear the argument from non-fiction fans that fiction in general is a waste of time because it's all made up. Agnes Grey could be like a journal entry from Bronte's life. Bronte perfectly captures the insecurites that pervade the thought...

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    I had trouble reading this book as well. I checked it out in honor of this forum, actually (and the trillion Lolita posts), just a couple weeks ago and sat down to read it. The style was good, it was well written and interesting, but I just couldn't stomach the subject matter. All his...

    Fiction you warn people against?

    I liked Wuthering Heights.
