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.

🦋 Could it be?

Dave Marc Fischer says Pynchon will be publishing a new book soon, a "noir detective story." This would be terrific! Seems like all my favorite living authors are coming out with new stuff! (via Conversational Reading.)

Update: Penguin Press has confirmed it will be publishing the book; they are not talking about its contents.

What's of interest:

➪	Matt Yglesias links to a Pitchfork item questioning Meghan McCain's understanding of sarcasm. (Oh and also: he makes a really good point about Krauthammer's use of football metaphors today.)
➪	Krugman links to a WSJ article on the new currency in federal prisons (since cigarettes were banned): it is tinned mackerel.
➪	is ten years old! For this month they have made their January 2001 index available for searches. (via Kieran Healy.) Naturally a lot of the links are no longer accessible.
