Other People's Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were… di Bill Shapiro

I found this hard to put down in the same way it's hard not to look at an accident on the side of the road. Some of the letters brought tears to my eyes (especially when reading the backstory), but others left me oddly desensitized to the concept of love letters. I could have written a few of these myself--though they were so very in the moment, reading them in a collection made them lose a little of their individuality. Still think I'd rather get my own than read someone else's!

What We Keep: 150 People Share the One Object that… di Bill Shapiro

A must-read for an archaeologist or anyone who has an interest in the story of objects. The short stories and beautiful pictures make this a book difficult to put down, but not an intense time commitment.

What We Keep: 150 People Share the One Object that… di Bill Shapiro

I used to teach a "significant object" unit - a favorite - for examining the meaning attached to things. wish this book was around then! This is a fascinating compilation of people and the 1 thing that matters to them, above all else. There are famous people (Ta-Nahisi Coates, Tim O'Brien, Cheryl Strayed, Joss Whedon, Melinda Gates, Travon Free) and important people, and average people, and anonymous people and they all have an object that is of immense value to them alone. Some have family history, some are probably valuable in the market, some have sentimental value: quite a few related to faith, military service, cultural heritage, history, but some total outliers that you wouldn't look at twice at Goodwill. A great browse book that allows you to be a little bit nosy and a whole lot of imspired - the reminder that everyone has a story comes through loud and clear. Great photos too of the objects and sometimes the people they belong to.… (altro)
