The READIN Family Album
Sylvia's on the back (October 2005)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

Somehow, Cleveland has survived, with her gray banner unfurled -- the banner of Archangelsk and Detroit, of Kharkov and Liverpool -- the banner of men and women who would settle the most ignominious parts of the earth, and there, with the hubris born neither of faith nor ideology but biology and longing, bring into the world their whimpering replacements.

— Gary Shteyngart

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.

Congratulations to Elan’ Rodger Trinidad, who has been nominated for the 2009 Eisner Award for his story "Speak No Evil," about the role of migrant laborers in extracting the mineral bounty of space. A great strip, check it out.

I did not realize Mr. Trinidad works for the Simpsons animating shop; but he does. The first episode which he participated in, "Four Women and a Manicurist," will be premiering (in the US) on May 10th.

* Sorry.

What's of interest:

➪ John Holbo has written his obligatory (so he says) midlife comic book. It is playful and fun.
➪ Levi Stahl has been re-reading Borges' Seven Nights, and attributes this to me! Great passage on nightmares.
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
