Dear Reader,
It's funny, I've always considered myself to be a loner. I enjoy people, and I'm always fascinated to hear about what's going on in their lives, but I never felt that I learned how to be a friend. The desire was there, but it just wasn't something that came naturally. I'm an only child, and when other people talk about their brothers and sisters or how a group of friends got together, I've always felt like I wish I could get in on the action. I realized today, when I was reading my email, that I have. Friendship is one of the things that I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving Day.
From my Email Bag:
"Dear Suzanne,
I once again want to express my gratitude for such a great experience everyday. I really enjoy most of the books that you choose, which makes me a regular at our local library, but it's your 'Dear Reader' column that keeps me coming back day after day. You make me feel like I have a girlfriend that I haven't met yet, because you write about the everyday stuff that my friends and I discuss all the time."
Sincerely yours, Carmela Knoll
"Suzanne,
When I first subscribed to your book club I thought the salutation 'It's so good to read with friends' seemed insincere. Now that I have been reading with you for quite a while, I get it! You are a friend--you do all of the things (share recipes, be vulnerable, encourage, tell family stories, send gifts...on & on) that friends do, and are quite generous about it. I especially enjoy your sense of humor and your willingness to make fun of yourself. Thanks for being Suzanne. It is good to read with friends."
Pamela Diederich P.S. When can you fix my brakes?
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Warm regards,
Suzanne Beecher
