Letters of Note, Volume 2: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience by Shaun Usher

4.0

Letters of Note, Volume 2 is a very fun read, as it primarily contains the contents of actual letters written from one notable person to another. Authors include Charlotte Bronte, JK Rowling, Tennessee Williams, Winston Churchill, and many others. There are also company memos that are quite amusing to read (and yes, someone actually sent those to employees!). The topics vary, so this is a book where the reader can skip around or stagger the reading across scattered bits of free time. I have placed my copy in my living room for guests to peruse on visits. Entertaining to say the very least - both amusing and enjoyable. Recommended light reading as an escape from the stresses of life and other hazards.

One of my favorites quotes is in a letter from William S. Burroughs to Truman Capote: "You choose instead to sell out a talent that was not yours to sell."

Note: I was given a free ARC of this title from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
