I just finished reading The Wizard of Oz for the first time. It sounds silly for me to be reading that book at my age but I was reading the novel "Wicked" which is a large book (500 pgs) on the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West mentioned in the Wizard of Oz. This book "Wicked" is very well-written and has a fun and different spin on the orginal Wizard of Oz book. However, since I had never read the original Wizard of Oz nor watched the movie, I didn't get a lot of the Wizard of Oz references in "Wicked" and so about halfway through "Wicked" I decided I wanted to read the Wizard of Oz before I continued with Wicked. I am certainly glad I becasu not only was the Wizard of Oz fun and well-written but I now understand "Wicked" a bit better.
On a side note, I'm pretty excited by the fact that I am using my iPhone to publish this yet I am typing on a wireless keyboard. Pretty sick, right?!
