I am addicted to this book! Where are you in your reading? Can we be through Part 3 by the end of the weekend? Or is by next week a better time frame? I think a lot of discussion will open up when we finish the book, but for now, chew on this question!

What is the significance of Elphaba’s green skin? What are the rewards of being so different, and what are the drawbacks? In Oz – and in the real world – what are the meanings associated with the color green, and are any of them pertinent to Elphaba’s character?
