not for the faint of heart, but if you've had
a significant loss you'll understand/supportive
in an intense way...but no more intense then
what you've already been through.

"The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri

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

I loved "The Year of Magical Thinking."

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

of course
 

" 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.

I'm about to start reading 'Room' by Emma Donoghue

In many ways, Jack is a typical 5-year-old. He likes to read books, watch TV, and play games with his Ma. But Jack is different in a big way--he has lived his entire life in a single room, sharing the tiny space with only his mother and an unnerving nighttime visitor known as Old Nick. For Jack, Room is the only world he knows, but for Ma, it is a prison in which she has tried to craft a normal life for her son. When their insular world suddenly expands beyond the confines of their four walls, the consequences are piercing and extraordinary. Despite its profoundly disturbing premise, Emma Donoghue's Room is rife with moments of hope and beauty, and the dogged determination to live, even in the most desolate circumstances. A stunning and original novel of survival in captivity, readers who enter Room will leave staggered, as though, like Jack, they are seeing the world for the very first time.

Portia De Rossi's Unbearable Lightness. It was hard to read. I thought she did an excellent job of describing eating disorders and being closeted.
