I love the community [info]50bookchallenge .I'm only going to count only the ones I read for myself at home, otherwise it's going to turn into a 50/month affair with all the papers. Here are the first two.

Wicked, by Gregory Maguire.
inevitably, after the Wonderful Wizard again. I like it a lot so far and I have a . It was the only reason why I touched the dreadful bookhuge crush on Elphaba who is as awesome as a friend had said she would be. I refuse to believe that the brainless brat kills her in the end, even though I know it's going to happen.
Shame on you, Frank Baum! Shame on you.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by Frank Baum.
Admittedly, the illustrated kid's version my brother handed me, which I suspect is abridged. I HATE. Dorothy. I always wanted her to die, and that has not changed a bit since I first read the book when I was around nine. Well, to be fair on Frank Baum, I read the Alexander Melentyevich Volkov- version, which is different in many many ways. Which does not keep me wanting to smack Elli/Dorothy around the head and hit her over the head with a farmhouse. I do not know why I always hated that type of girl as main characters so much, it was the same thing with Alice. What's the matter with the girls?
