Found a 1978 love letter tucked in a library copy of 'The Thorn Birds'

Oh come on, it's probably just a bookmark someone forgot. People leave all kinds of junk in library books, grocery lists, old receipts. That "love letter" was likely a note passed in class that got shoved in there and never meant to be found decades later. We're reading way too much into a random piece of paper.

A grocery list? Hayden144, you really think someone wrote "my dearest Eleanor, my heart aches across the miles" on their shopping list? That's a whole mood, not a reminder to buy milk. People pour their guts out on paper. Finding that is like a tiny time capsule, way better than a crumpled receipt.

So you're telling me someone's deep heartfelt letter got used as a bookmark for a library copy of "Tax Law for Dummies"? That's almost sadder than if it was just a grocery list.
