I loved that book Diane, it was humorous, informative, sad, colorful, full of great characters and a real joy to read. At first I had a bit of trouble keeping everyone straight but it wasn't long before I knew them well. The letters are amazing. How great that you were able to meet one of the authors.
Leah's idea is great. I've often thought I would try to read a certain list of books but I always end up deviating from the list :) Off & on for the last couple of years, I've tried to follow along with my local library's book club, reading the books though not always attending the meeting. I find that I must not experience books like most of the people in the book club because some of the conversations left me puzzled......wondering if we'd read the same book!! But I have definitely read and enjoyed books that I would not have chosen for my personal "to read" list because of the book club.
A friend of mine is knitting a different hat pattern each week this year, 52 hats for donation by years end. Isn't that cool, I want to try it. All these great ideas, not always enough time.....
I loved it, too!
ReplyDeleteAnother "letter" book we have read was "The Wednesday Letters". Liked it too but not as much as potato peel.
