The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia, on the Potomac (September 2010)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

The very idea of the (definitive) translation is misguided, Borges tells us; there are only drafts, approximations.

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.

sí sí, tu aviso estóy escuchando pero hallo que no me importa esto rodeo del confesionario dar, del medio narrativo, del reflejo retro. Así afirmando, estóy la suerte cerrando:
no me debo preocupar de que
puedo me apartar del camino recto y angosto
y vago garabatear la escrita mustia de disculpa.
En cambio, me gloriaré -- en todo caso, fanfarronearse es una forma de confesionario,
¿verdad?
Cantaré autodescriptivamente qui quiri quí,
fingiré que mi ceguera perpleja fuera alguna ventana.

What's of interest:

➪ Good news fer yer ears: two new mix tapes from the Apostropher! 44 songs and not a familiar (to me, natch) artist in there...
➪ Louis, who works at the To­ronto Public Library, makes a (poten­tially) hugely exciting discovery in the stacks. (Thanks for the link, Stewart!)
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
