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.

🦋 Shaggy Dog Story

JosÃ© Arcadio BuendÃa no logrÃ³ descifrar el sueÃ±o de las casas con paredes de espejo hasta el dÃa en que conociÃ³ el hielo.

This (in chapter 2 of Cien AÃ±os de Soledad) seems like the first really strong punchline of the book. There have been plenty of chuckles throughout the first chapter and the beginning of the second, but this one absolutely cracked me up. My memory of reading the translation suggests that there are a lot more to come.

➪	Dorothy Gambrell is interviewed at FlavorÂwire today. She's moving back to Brooklyn!
➪	In comments at LanguageHat, Grumbly Stu links to an essay of Blumenberg's on "The Inevitable Recourse to Anthropomorphism", from Die VollzÃ¤hligkeit der Sterne. Looks like good stuff and makes me want to find my copy of HÃ¶hlenausgÃ¤nge again.
