READIN

Jeremy's journal

At first I didn't quite know what I would do with the book, other than read it over and over again. My distrust of history then was still strong, and I wanted to concentrate on the story for its own sake, rather than on the manuscript's scientific, cultural, anthropological, or 'historical' value. I was drawn to the author himself.

— Orhan Pamuk

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:

➪ At Dave Bonta's Morning Porch, Luisa Igloria posts an old-school "Love poem with skull and Valentine" in honor of the day.
➪ At Κενοδοξία, James Warren reprints the abstract of Anaximander's rejoinder (The Asia Minor Journal of Rational Natural Philosophy vol. ii, 580 bce) to Thales' doctrine that all things are "from water," in order to demonstrate what early Greek philo­sophy was not like.
➪ Geeta Doctor of the Mumbai Mirror reviews Orhan Pamuk's latest: "It's a book about reading. That itself should make the unwary reader anxious, the alert one curious."
