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.

Speaking of "Subterranean Homesick Blues": The city of Duluth, MN has hit on a distinctive way of honoring its favorite son.

(I always thought the lyric after this was "Don't wear sandals/ You can't afford the scandal" but apparently, per his home page, the second line is "Try to avoid the scandals".)

Do any kids in high school learn all the words to that song and try to say them in one breath anymore?

➪	Noah Berlatsky of The Hooded Utilitarian has a lovely mix of Detroit divas, under the title The Best Girls Don't Always Win.
➪	SÃ³lo hay una cosa sobre la cual un escritor puede escribir: lo que tiene al frente de sus sentidos al momento de escribir. En las pÃ¡ginas de Hermano Cerdo estÃ¡ Jorge Izquierda imaginando el tiempo que hubiese pasado William Burroughs en Ecuador.
