Ok, guys, here we go. Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. Who, might I add, is gay.

1)Have you read it?
2)What gay/lesbian couples do you think Mr. Maguire had in mind when he wrote the book?

AND! I'm talking about the BOOK, the NOVEL, not the PLAY. I love the play, don't get me wrong, but we're in the BOOK club. ^.^

Isn't there a second book by him about the son? I love Wicked, but i can only find my copy of Confessions, which is equally awesome.

Are you for real! I had no idea Gregory Maguire was gay! Wicked is such a great book. I don't know who he might have had in mind, but I thought for a while that Elphaba and Galinda/ Glinda's relationship would go a little farther...

I read this book, loved it, and completely agree with you. I thought Elphaba and Galinda were going to end up together. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but I saw subtext there.

I didn't know he was gay either. There's a sequel out, right?

Love

This book is love, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy. laughter and adult humour..Oh and the wizard of Oz..
I dunno..I figured Elphie would find someone..She just screamed Lesbo to me..Til that one part..with Fiyero? It was okay though..I liked him.

Thinking you are beautiful is like an oreo cookie. You either love the inside, The outside, or the entire thing.

Hm, I should've added myself,

Hm, I should've added myself, who I saw:

Elphie/G{a}linda
Crope/Tibbett
Turtle Heart/Frex
Pfanee/Shen Shen

and, I definately did NOT see this, but Fiyero/Boq would make me SO amused.

As for the sequel, "Son of a Witch," Liir and Trism have sex together. They're like, my OTP.

Be yourself. Because if you're busy being someone else, then who's gonna be you?

I always thought of Elphaba a

I always thought of Elphaba and Fiyero's wife/widow being the main lesbian couple. Elphaba was devoted to her and I think that devotion went beyond the whole feeling guilty about Fiyero's death
