Dorothy Day was a voracious reader. You could do worse than to follow her reading list: from Dostoevsky, St. Teresa, the Little Flowers of St. Francis, and Tales of the Hasidim, to "Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist." So many of these titles I discovered through her.

I discovered Berkman’s prison memoirs via my mom’s interest in anarchists and labor history; I found Meister Eckhardt through Saul Bellow’s Mr. Sammler. Reading is endless discovery!

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
