Im a Chicago girl (now in Tulsa). Grew up first in Bridgeport on the south side (close to the original Mayor Daley) and then Portage Park. Always favored the Tribune as the better of the two papers.
Dear John:. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary as the Biblioracle. I remember my utter delight with your column when you started with the Chicago Tribune ---- someone else who was as passionate about reading as I was! On Sunday mornings after I finished the Tribune, I would call my best friend, Wendy, and invariably we would talk about the of your recommendations or one of the books submitted by a reader. Thanks to you, I have read "Pachinko", "Sloppy Dies", "The Trees" and many other marvelous books. Although I no longer subscribe to the Tribune, I am proud to continue to be a reader and supporter of your newsletter. I may not comment every week, but rest assured, I remain one of your happiest and most devoted followers. Thank you for continuing to read on our behalf and to write fearlessly about what you love.
Happy anniversary!

This has absolutely made my week. Maybe my month. Thanks so much for the kind words, and say hi and thanks to Wendy for me.
