#ThreeGoodThings

1. Had lunch w/a student who is majoring in engineering and English. It was a joy to talk to her. We've agreed to read Ruth #Ozeki's The Book of Form and Emptiness and compare notes.

2. Another incredible student recommended Haruki #Murakami's What I Talk about When I Talk about Running. I have started it and it's inspiring me to continue working on another #memoir that is in its infant phase.

3. Rumeysa #Ozturk has been released.

#Ozturk’s only “crime” – the apparent reason masked federal agents snatched her off the street – was she’d written something the government didn’t like. Specifically, something the Trump administration didn’t like.
