Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
The first chapter of this book was a short story fiction in the New Yorker. It was a bad fiction, because it totally was a chapter of a book, not a short story.
The New Yorker published a couple chapters of his book "The Corrections," and the sensation of reading chapters of a book that you have read before as a short story is eerie. I don't like it.
So far, I can't pass judgement on this book. It hasnt caught my interest but I will finish it.
Wicked by Gregory Maquire
Oh, fluff! Most interesting part is that the women have the power. It is a matriarchal society.

Wicked is weird. Interesting, but weird.
