book meme!

snagged from [livejournal.com profile] softbrowneyes

1. Grab the nearest book. (Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or"intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it!Just pick up whatever is closest.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.


By the time the jackal moon was gone for another generation, and the Superior Maunt and her returning agents, Sisters Doctor and Apothecaire, had made it up the steps to the infirmary, Liir and Candle were gone, too.

I had a really hard time getting into Wicked, but I liked Son of a Witch much better. I felt like it had way more plot to it.

wicked took a while for me to get into too, because of all that history and backstory in the beginning. after we got past all of that, i actually liked it quite a bit.

i'll have to see how son of a witch goes though. i just have to find the time to read (which i don't seem to have much of anymore).

Just finished it last night, and I loved it. I loved Wicked too. They're both fantastic. I need to go buy another Gregory M. book, because he's an amazing author.

he's good, but he puts in a lot of backstory. and while that can be a good thing, it's not one of my favorite things to read. i'd rather have it explained as the story goes.

*shrugs* but that's just me.

OMG. Son of a Witch. You make my life. *loves you*

is it bad that i haven't really read it yet? that's why it's sitting on my desk. to unsuccessfully remind me to read it.

but from what i've heard, it's better than wicked. so that i'm looking forward to.

Well it kind of is better than Wicked but I love both books. Have you read any other books by Gregory Maguire? He's amazing.

i've only read wicked. his style is kind of hard for me to get into. he puts in a lot of backstory, which is good, but it's too much for my taste.
