Here's the last of 2005's reading. I'm going to try to stretch my horizons a bit more this coming year.<\/p>\n
063. \tChosen Prey<\/a> – Sandford, John I finally picked up the rest of the “Prey” books that I was missing, so I read them straight through. Good fun, well drawn characters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 068. \tRachel & Leah<\/a> – Card, Orson Scott<\/p>\n Say what you will about the man, but Card writes really good novels. His religious fiction is not preachy at all, and brings the old tales to life. I'm not religious at all, and enjoyed his “Women of Genesis” series immensely. For Christmas, I gave a copy of all three to my mother-in-law (who is a religious person) and she loved them as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 069. \tWicked: The Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West<\/a> – Maguire, Gregory<\/p>\n What a fun book! This was a wonderful<\/i> twist on an old classic. I think I'm going to try some of his other books as well. Of course, reading this one prompted me to read the original.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 070. \tThe Wizard of Oz<\/a> – Baum, Frank L.<\/p>\n After reading “Wicked”, reading the original was surreal. Especially because I don't think I ever did read this as a child, but of course I've seen the classic with Judy Garland a bazillion times. It was very cool to get back to the roots of this American fairy tale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
