This book came recommended to me by many many people, and now I must recommend it to many many more. It really is an amazing book. I'm sure there's something in here for everyone, but I could really relate to the main character's and how art plays a part in their lives. It really made me want to go back to take more art classes. Someday! Thankfully, I am not pained with a tragic life to drive me to the brink of insanity to throw into my artmaking...
