"Right," said Sil after a moment's pondering, "I noticed that neither of you said what it is that you actually like about your chosen book, which was the important bit," she added with a grin, "So if you would care to elaborate?"
The West has found the gun, and its loaded with unsure. Nip and tuck if you have the bucks, in the race to find the cure. Psalm 139 is the conscience to our selfish crime; God didn't screw up when he made ya, He's a father who loves to parade you. -D?

"Well, Gregory MacGuire likes to take older stories and look at them from different points of view. When I read WICKED, the wicked witch of the west didn't seem so wicked anymore. He did that with another book "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister." That was from the view of an ugly stepsister from the "Cinderella" story. His books almost make you second guess hating that character from the original story," Selene said.

Silivren suddenly awoke from the strangest dream, in which she was flying in an aeroplane for hours and hours and hours to somewhere that felt like home but was nothing like Greenleaf's, though it was stunningly green.
"Much better, Selene," she smiled. Then, confused by the dream and sleepy from awaking the last few mornings horribly early by the daylight-like lightness of 5am, Silivren paused, wondering what to say next.
