Sarted his yesterday and I can't put it down. I love reading other people's letters and these two could really write. Very interesting and highly recommended. Fitzie |

I also read this and loved it. The gift of writing seems to have been lost. We're now amongst a world of tweeting bloggers. Nance |

I really loved this book. Have a question. Canned sausage was used in one of the stuffings/dressings. Any idea what this could be? Surely not Viennas. |

I'm in the middle of this right now. Some of the correspondence certainly explains some of the ingredients in Mastering. Boy, letter writing is a lost art... Amy |

Fitzie, Thx, I missed it, but it's on it's way to my trusty kindle, even as we speak. Love Julia! |

Loved this book...read on a "girls vacation" in Mexico and of course was ridiculed for not having a traditional "beach book". ilene |

When I do carefully craft an email or post that is longer it is extremely evident from the replies that very few people actually read it. This is true in professional and personal spaces. Most people seem to have adopted tl;dr as a lifestyle. After a while you just say F-it, why bother if no one is going to read. Of course, in Julia's day, you weren't in a deluge in message/mails, so I do see the problem. On the book, I think I might have a go at it. |

Paul, I remember when USA Today first came out, I heard a speaker (who was from the NY Times) refer to it as McNews and said that it would alter how the next generation got their news....short paragraphs and nothing else. I'm thinking he was right. ilene |

I was on a 1 hour conference call yesterday (continuation of another 1 hour call) where the person who had filled out a spreadsheet put the EXACT opposite of what I had emailed her in each column. Very frustrating. I need to see if my piddly library has that book, the best parts of Julie and Julia were the letters! |

I've also gotten into the DeVotos through this book and have read several of his books. I enjoyed them immensly, but then I'm a lover of conservationists and the West. I'm waiting for a couple more from Powell's. Fitzie |
