Snoopin' on authors' (and other people's) letters...

Anyone else do this?

I really enjoy (surprise) Flannery O'Connor's letters which are published in the back of the book I'd gotten out that has her stories.

And I also enjoyed "Letters from America" when I had it out awhile back... (Alexis de Tocqueville)

Both of these writers cultivated a classy and interesting writing style... (I want to learn from 'em.)

Also read letters from Galileo's daughter Sister Maria Celeste to her father awhile back.

Anyone else?

Grumbles From the Grave, a collection of Heinlein's letters, was fascinating look at the backstory of an author that was a considerable influence on my youthful self.

I imagine that would be neat!
