would you believe that a love letter sold for 445,000 dollars?  |
| |
|  A record $445,000 was paid for a sexually explicit letter written by world famous author James Joyce to his lifelong love and partner Nora Barnacle.
The erotic love letter written in 1909 made the highest price ever reached for a 20th Century autographed letter.
Joyce's steamy correspondence to future wife Nora Barnacle was the best known of several items from the Irish author that went under the hammer at a Sotheby's auction in London.

| |  That is one expensive love letter and sure would be curious to see what was written in that letter. It must have been pretty long as well as very steamy and romantic. If we tried to sell one of our love letters, we would get nothing for it. :-)

| | I think this would reenforce privacy issues for those who are famous. No matter what if you write it , it may be published at some point somewhere. I guess if you put it out there , you should be sure, that you are comforatble with that..... | | | |

| | Isnt it amazing? Well, the letter was very personal and also explicit. I dont think I would have wanted mine sold. However it appears if you are famous, then this may happen to you. | | | |

| |  Just how steamy was it??? Must have been quite the letter. Whom ever purchased it must truly be a James Joyce fan. I could think of better things to do in this world if I had an extra 445,000 kicking around.

| | My question is , would either of the two parties have been comfortable with this? Did they have a choice or any say so? I cant help but wonder because it was so extremly detailed and expicit? It seems that some things should just be kept private. Or am I just being too picky? | | | |
