The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia at the Memorial (April 2009)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

He'd had the sense, moments earlier, that Caroline was on the verge of accusing him of being "depressed," and he was afraid that if the idea that he was depressed gained currency, he would forfeit his right to his opinions. He would forfeit his moral certainties; every word he spoke would become a symptom of disease; he would never win an argument.

— Jonathan Franzen

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 I voted Outer Suburbitron

...but the leading contender by a long shot (AOTW)* is my second choice, Sciencemastering Lair. Go over to Scenes from a Multiverse to cast your vote for your favorite Famous Destination -- whichever destination wins gets a full week of story-line (next week? I am not sure. It seems like a lot of cartooning to get together on very short notice. Possibly it is the following week or something.)

(I really, really hope Bunnies Planet is not the eventual winner, much as I love it. But also hope that whatever strip wins has Bunnies Planet incorporated into it somehow.)

...A candid shot of Cornelius Snarlington, Business Deer is up at Jamie Zawinski's site, jwz.org.


*...And the pattern is holding up; as of Sunday afternoon it is Sciencemastering Lair way out ahead with 55% of the vote, Outer Suburbitron dead last with a measly 6%. Bunnies Planet is dead center between them.)

What's of interest:

➪ In the Wall Street Journal, Stephen Greenblatt speculates on Shakespeare's editorial process; meanwhile the blogger at Little Bits of Ice is speculating about Shakespeare's motivations.
➪ Scott Mc­Lemee of Inside Higher Ed writes about the King James Bible and about David Crystal's new analysis of its language, and about James Agee's use of the book of Sirach. 2011 is the 400th anniversary of the translation.
