Halloween reading

I've been reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire for weeks but it is pretty appropriate for today. 'The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West' is the subtitle. Unfortunately, although I've been wanting to read this for years and just never got around to it, I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I LOVE the idea behind it but eh, not so much the reality of it. I really don't want to give it up, though, because I've tossed aside so many books I've wanted to read in the last month. Nothing suits my mood. But hey, at least I'm reading for pleasure, which is something I did not do the last two semesters.
