Hi, I'm new to this thread but thought I would put in my 2 cents. I completely agree with what Yadayada said about Wicked (the book). I just thought it was strange. However, I absolutely love the stage version and just saw it again a couple of weeks ago while in LA. The soundtrack is constantly on in my house and my daughters (6 & 8) love it too.
Now, to answer the question of the thread. I am currently reading Secret Daughter by June Cross. It is about an interracial child and the mother who gave her away. It is fantastic reading. I'm looking for my next read so I'm open to suggestions.

Angels & Demons I'm finally away from my house, sitting by a dear friend's pool reading. (it's supposed to be 100 degrees today!) I'm so hooked on this book, I can't wait for the film to be released. I wish I didn't have to wait till 2009 to see it.

I recently started reading Jodi Picoult books and I love them. I've read The Pact and My Sister's Keeper and am currently working on Plain Truth. She's a really good writer and I'm really enjoying her books. I'm also about to start Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead

I'm reading Uta Hagen- Respect for acting. Very good book. About to start reading " How not to audition".

I am reading "Self management for actors" by Bonnie Gillespie. "The complete audition book for young actors" by roger ellis and Glenn Altermann's "Secrets to successful cold readins". Yes i'm reading 3 at a time. I'm hardcore like that.
