On books of letters

Would reading your texts tell a story? How about your emails? With some of these modern technologies giving us such direct and fast communication, we lose the narrative-ness of extended exchanges. However, in the following books, you can clearly see the story through the letters our characters exchange:

• The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows - When Juliet begins a correspondence with the people living on Guernsey Island, she has no idea how much her life will change. This adorable piece of historical fiction is a must-read.

• The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis - This collection of letters between Lucifer and a devil servant reveal how to tempt man - and perhaps, how to avoid vices.

• Lady Susan by Jane Austen - Through letters, Austen tells the story of the witty and selfish Lady Susan as she hunts for a husband.

• The Letters of Virginia Woolf by Virginia Woolf - This six volume collection of the writer’s letters span her entire lifetime and reveal the inner workings of one of the greatest writers of her time.

What books would you add to this list? Do you feel that your modern-day communication would yield similarly interesting books if compiled?
