No, I'm afraid I haven't read any Louise Erdrich, but I will look some out. Of course, when I talk about what young people should read, like anyone my age I mean what I think they should read, which equally means what I've read. One of my favourite modern authors is Joanne Harris (Chocolat, Blackberry Wine etc) but I also like John Grisham, who I think has a Harper Lee quality to his writing. And Audrey Niffeneger has such a way with making you love the characters and suspension of disbelief. It's quite magical. I'd love to be a writer like that, but I can't come close. I'm a better reader than I am writer, and no-one wants to know about that
