14. I LOVED this book

SPOILER ALERT!!

As an artist, I found all the discussions about art fascinating. I suspect, though, that some people may find it somewhat tedious.

I also love when a book makes me want to do some research, so here are some gems I found.
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a REAL place. And it actually is only open one day a year. And there really are hares. Trippy stuff:

Clarence Gagnon is also real. He was not one of the Group of 7 but lived around the same time. His work is gorgeous. http://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/list.php?m=a&s=tu&aid=3662

Funny thing, on my second day of reading I took a look at the cover art and could not figure out what it was supposed to be. Then I read about them studying Peter's paintings and when I closed the book, I saw the back. Made me lol. What a clue!

Lastly, I haven't cried at the end of a book in a long time. But this one really got me. I certainly am anticipating a new one, but I think I have some ideas about what it might be about. We shall see....
