Thank you so much amazy Hernan Diaz The Newberry Library @storystudiochicago.bsky.social @rebeccamakkai & everyone who came out last night. Somehow I didn't take a single photo, so here is one the Newberry folks shared plus a photo of me with my new Newberry hat (love it).

My grandma was the first woman to get a physics degree at Iowa State University. I still have her college general physics book, published in 1917.

Lots of books are comforting now. Others have listed many. I liked listening to S short short story by @rebeccamakkai that she started writing in an airport! It was so good. Next up for me: having just seen the movie Philadelphia again / #thegreatbelievers.
