Fables: Witches, 184 pages
This had one of the best lines I've ever read in a book. The magic mirror is dealing with Baba Yaga (one of the scariest witches ever in fairytales) and is telling her that she will be dead soon. Baba Yaga asks why, and the Magic Mirror tells her that she was dead the moment Bufkin (one of the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of the Oz) decided she needed to go. Bufkin is considered kind of a bumpkin by the fairytales so Baba Yaga is shocked by this. She asks why and the Magic Mirror replies, "He reads. He reads everything." That is my all time favorite line. That would be my superpower. I may even have it put on my grave, "She read. She read everything."
