[Vision2020] Summer Reading

[debismith at moscow.com]

Debbie, I was fortunate enough to see the stage production of "Wicked" in 
Chicago last month. I attended with 8 others, though I was the only one 
who had read the book. It was great fun, truthful to the plot-line (if 
not to the details), and the stage effects were fabulous!! Pick up the 
sequel, "Son of a Witch", and read another of his books "Mirror, Mirror" 
(my favorite!) Enjoy!! These are a fun read, but very timely and deep...
