2012-01-07: I am presently reading this book, but a few preliminary thoughts will appear below as I have them.

I played in a production of the musical adaptation of this book back in 2008. That started me on it.

Last semester (Fall 2011) I used the book as source material for a performance project in my theatre class. (Our project was well received, and played a part in altering the course of the rest of the term. The co-professors refocused the upcoming readings right after our presentation.)
