READIN

Jeremy's journal

He'd had the sense, moments earlier, that Caroline was on the verge of accusing him of being "depressed," and he was afraid that if the idea that he was depressed gained currency, he would forfeit his right to his opinions. He would forfeit his moral certainties; every word he spoke would become a symptom of disease; he would never win an argument.

— Jonathan Franzen

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.

The Daily Mail publishes a stunning gallery of photos of the undeveloped American West, taken on surveying expeditions in the late 19th Century.

What's of interest:

➪ At Haquelebac, John has some follow-up questions to ask the annotators of Lolita. Sure they are pedantic, but ‘Nabokovists are supposed to be pedantic.’ (John gets some undeserved shit in comments.)
➪ On National Geographic's Ancient X-Files, Nick Pelling works on unraveling the cryptic skein of the Voynich Manuscript. (via The New Post-Literate)
➪ In a forward-looking article for Ladies Home Journal, Anne Shaw Faulkner (head of the Music Department at the General Federation of Women's Clubs) examines evidence that "those under the demoralizing influence of the persistent use of syncopation, combined with inharmonic partial tones, are actually incapable of distinguishing between good and evil, right and wrong." (Thanks for the link, Peter!)
