Best thing read (today), from an article of an interview with author Gregory Maguire.

"Q: I understand you journal -- perhaps daily?

A: Not daily, because I have small children. One cannot do anything daily with small children except weep with exhaustion."

By the by. I just finished reading Son of a Witch. A faster read I think than Wicked was, and I think it ended too abruptly. But you know there has to be a next novel, and in fact (as you read in the above article) there will be one. Woo hoo!!
