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.

One of my favorite parts of The Duty of Delight was marveling at the books she read.

Proving once again that reading- lots of it and of broad swath of material, is so powerful.

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!
