Me and Sylvia, on the Potomac (September 2010)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

He became so absorbed in his reading that he spent his nights reading from dusk to dawn, and his days from dawn to dusk; and thus, from so little sleep and from so much reading, his brain dried up, so that he came to lose all judgement.

— Miguel de Cervantes

The Economist's Tale

Posts about The Economist's Tale

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.

🦋 Recommendation

This morning I finished reading The Economist's Tale by Peter Griffiths. (Thanks D2 for the recommendation!) An excellent book and you ought to read it; I haven't really got anything to add to Daniel's review except to say this book is an extremely good pay-off in terms of how much pleasure, sorrow and enlightenment you will get out of reading it, versus how much effort is involved.

Update: And here is a link to Griffiths' home page.
