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.

🦋 Never Let Me Go

I'm so excited! Heard from Lauren that Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go has been made into a movie and is in the theaters -- I go over to check listings and it is playing in Montclair right now! Ellen and I are going to see it this weekend. (...And, making a mental note to myself to try and keep up with what movies are playing that would be interesting to me... It would have been a shame to miss this.)

What's of interest:

➪ Rolling Stone reporta que el duo madrileño Unomasuna compone 33 canciones, cada una dedicada a uno de los mineros chilenos quienes están hoy seguros. Puedes escuchar algunas de las canciones en el artículo. (Gracias por el enlace, CK!)
➪ Today's Podcastle is Norm Sherman reading Ramsey Shehadeh's "Creature." It bears some comparison to Robyn Hitchcock's "Happy the Golden Prince" but is ultimately a much more fully realized work, more I think on the level of a Miyazaki film.
➪ In the current issue of the New York Review of Books, J.M. Coetzee takes a look at Philip Roth's latest book, Nemesis. (via Hermano Cerdo)
