Family & Relationships. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:Fevered notes scribbled on napkins after first dates. Titillating text messages. It's-not-you-it's-me relationship-enders. In Other Peopleâ??s Love Letters, Bill Shapiro has searched Americaâ??s attics, closets, and cigar boxes and found actual lettersâ??unflinchingly honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerabilityâ??written only for a loverâ??s eyes. Modern love, of course, is not all bliss, and in these pages youâ??ll find the full range of a relationship, with its whispered promises as well as its heartache. But what at first appears to be a deliciously voyeuristic peek into other peopleâ??s most passionate moments, will ultimately reawaken your own desires and tendernessâ?¦because when you read these letters, youâ??ll find the heart youâ??re looking into is actually your own.

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! ( )

I thought this was a cute book. It's filled with letters with love, hate, separation, passion, etc. I enjoyed the handwritten ones a lot better than the typed letters. Perfect for anyone in a relationship or a hopeless romantic. ( )

This collection of actual love letters is not as cringe-inducing as say, Gov. Sanford's overwrought e-mails to his Argentine lover. There are some such moments but on the whole, these letters are quirky, cute, ordinary and mostly thoughtful. There are also breakup letters, ultimatums and confused revelations of the heart. There's a voyeuristic thrill to reading other actual love letters but it will also inspire you to dig up your old love correspondence. I did! ( )

This was a very interesting read. It was rather like going through somebody's shoes box. Some note were sweet and some were funny. A refreshing look at love! ( )
