Dear John,
I have always wanted to wrlte a Dear John letter. ....
Anyway I LOVED your Episode about John McPhee. I have to buy that work. I think I begin reading him rather late, The Control of Nature was the first book I read but he quickly became one of my favorite non fiction writers. And as was said by the author, I always read his articles first in the New Yorker. Each one a gift. His Control of Nature was the first book I selected for our book club when I jointed 21 years ago. I think we need to read Coming into the Country which I am reading now because of your podcast. I hope Mr McPhee gets a few pennies from the Audiobook I downloaded.
His Annals series really ignited in me a long love of geology that continues to this day..
Anyway keep up the great work and hope your summer is a good one.
