I also want to read the Tolkien books.

Louis Erdrich is part Ojibwa Indian and part German-
American who often writes about a community of the Ojibwa intertwining the stories of the different families and different generations. When I finish one, it reminds me of sitting around the family table listening to several generations reminiscing. They are often hard hitting, but her writing is so beautiful.
I live just southwest of Kissimmee. Have been here for about 18 years and it has changed so very much!

Yes, that area has changed over the years and we decided to leave when we retired. It just got too busy for us. Thanks for sharing about the authors!
