I loved "The Year of Magical Thinking."

If you don't mind can you say more about the other two books?

"The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri
the Best

and

"Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich
Writing, mysterious, something I am
sinking my teeth into.

" Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich's first novel.

She wrote her latest "Shadow Tag" and was the
book I read first. I wanted to explore all of her
writing so I have gone to her first and will
continue from here. It is about family relationships.

Her writing is as real as it gets.

"The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri is for artists
and art lovers well lovers of the creative
process. I understand he was a loved teacher
of art, and he was a painter.

Enjoy if you pick these up.
