The much delayed Going Postal review (read: set of disjointed thoughts). I'd have posted this sooner, but then I got slightly distracted by Wicked (have you read this book? why haven't you read this book?).

My pretty red coffee mug has a chink. WOE!

*Why* do I feel so exhausted?

I went browsing at Amazon, and there are some very - shall we say interesting? - reviews of Wicked out there. Most of them are good, but some reviewers seem to feel that the book fails to 'empower women' and therefore we should watch the musical instead. *dies laughing*

Another reviewer said:But you will wrestle, long afterward, with Maguire's moral pessimism and the snarl of grace and doom that underlies this novel. (emphasis mine)

'Moral pessimism'? Is Maguire pessimistic? I'll have to think some more on this. Thoughts, jaybee65?
