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.

🦋 Vonnegut on the radio

Yesterday's post at Letters of Note -- Vonnegut's letter to Charles McCarthy about the burning of his books -- inspired be to look through the Letters of Note archive for more by Vonnegut. There are some great things there; also, from reading that, I found a link to some archives of Vonnegut's radio show, which I never knew about, on WNYC in the late 90's: on God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Kurt interviews the recently- and not-so-recently deceased to get their takes on heaven and earth, life and death...

➪	Delivering SXSW's keynote speech this year, Bruce Springsteen on the evolution of pop into a new language, cultural force, social movement...
➪	At his NY Times blog, Dick Cavett writes up two new books concerning Groucho. (Thanks for the link, Ellen!) Robert Bader's Selected Writings of Groucho Marx sounds unmissable.
➪	â€œCertain members of your community have suggested that my work is evil. This is extraordinarily insulting to me.â€ â€” Letters of Note reprint's Vonnegut's letter to the head of the Drake, ND school board. (Thanks for the link, Jeff!)
➪	At Orbis Quintus, badger links to a piece of memoir/fiction by BolaÃ±o, newly translated by Chris Andrews, in the latest Harper's: I Can't Read.
