Letters of Note: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience by Shaun Usher
4.0
3.75 Stars. I selected this book for book club July 2017, and while I had a rocky start getting into the book I ultimately rather enjoyed it as a unique slice of 150 lives (or rather less as there were some repeat offenders featured.)
Being a history nerd (and history major in undergrad) I liked learning new things and the process of stopping where I was to go read up on a topic and learn even more.
The letters overall were excellent and varied in their humor, sadness, poignancy, and at times eerie relevance despite some of their being hundreds of years old.
I am really glad I pushed my way through the beginning!
