Letters

While browsing through "This American Life" every morning, Kate found this section on Letters, where people read aloud their letters.

Letters have this bizarre intimacy that seem strung out on a limb because of their blatant hope for correspondence. Its almost like talking to yourself; hearing these bits of others without knowing the whole story throws me off a bit but in a way that I feel slightly suspended over the narrative.
