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.

Arthur Ganson specializes in kinetic sculptures. Thanks to Martha for pointing this out -- this is great, addictive stuff! I am sorry I'm not in Cambridge to see his show at M.I.T.

➪	At Center for the Art of TransÂlation, Natasha Wimmer disÂcusses transÂlating BolaÃ±o, and reads from her transÂlations of 2666 and a forthÂcoming book of BolaÃ±o's essays, Between Parentheses.
➪	History comes to life! At It is time for history, Teozar takes on the amazing story of The War of Jenkins' Ear. (see also Mason & Dixon, where the ear plays a key role.)
➪	A new issue of The Quarterly Conversation hits the stands today, including a very interesting write-up of NYC author Eugene Marten's Waste, which Scott Wilson recommends for those who can "deal with a shocking amount of physical and psychological trauma distilled down into sharp, tight sentences."
