READIN

Jeremy's journal

The alternatives are not placid servitude on the one hand and revolt against servitude on the other. There is a third way, chosen by thousands and millions of people every day. It is the way of quietism, of willed obscurity, of inner emigration.

— J.M. Coetzee

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.

What's of interest:

➪ On NPR's Talk of the Nation, George Michelson Foy des­cribes how he decided (with the "sudden certainty more characteristic of schizophrenics, or teenage lovers") to seek out 0 dB.
➪ In today's New York Times, a brief sketch of J.M. Coetzee's experience with censor­ship in Apartheid-​era South Africa. “I was rubbing shoulders in daily life with people who in secret were making judgments about whether or not I was going to be allowed to be published and read in South Africa.”
➪ In today's New York Times Maga­zine, (the usu­ally tire­some) Debo­rah Solo­mon inter­views John Waters. Silly ques­tions but great ans­wers.
