That wouldn't happen to have any relation to a certain Julia Roberts movie that just came out, that no one knew about, would it?

GOD NO
It's set in Italy and centers on Lucrezia and Cesare Boriga.

Wicked, Gregory Maguire. While the other novels in the series don't match it, this is a very interesting character study, and I really like Maguire's Oz. (Which I say as if I even know about the original one.)

I'm going to extended the Greg Maguire reccomendation to his book Mirror, Mirror as well. It is not quite as great as Wicked, but is still a good read.  Most of what Maguire has written is pretty good, actually. He's just a lovely guy.

Adding onto that: Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer.

Hello there. I'm Allison and I'm a student studying theatre and gender studies. I work a horrible job in retail but I like to think of myself as a sort of actress who is in a bit of a dry spell.  That's how I get through days of folding brightly colored hoodies and glittered graphic tees.

I found DIF during one of my long trips through TVTropes, and I really liked what I heard.   

That's all I have, folks. I was racking my brain for some sort of amusing anecdote, but none of them really live up to the high standards that those who came before me have demonstrated.
