Wicked by Gregory Maguire

Thus far this is proving to be a fantastic novel: a re-examination of the world and events described in L. Frank Baum's Oz series (which I've never actually read myself, I'm ashamed to say) from the perspective of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West). Some time I really hope to see the musical they derived from it.

There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure, so strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!
