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.

🦋 Escucho a escondidas

por FÃ©lix Fojas
tr. Jeremy Osner

mientras escucho
el chismorreo de los
muertos me doy cuenta
de repente de que

hablan en el presente
como sean todavÃa
completamente vivos,
sanos, robustos

aguzo las orejas y
escucho fijamente
soy estupefacto
a descubrir

que cuando a nosotros
refieren --los vivos--
usan el pasado
como estuviÃ©ramos

ya largo tiempo muertos
que me hace llegar
a una conclusiÃ³n perturbador:
que ser muerto o

vivo sea cuestiÃ³n
de opiniÃ³n y no
estado de ser
vivo, pudriendo
