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 Year in Protest

Today, boston.com's Big Picture runs a gallery of photos of political demonstrations around the world in 2010; by turns inspiring, depressing, confusing, amusing... Thanks for the link, CK!

What's of interest:

➪	John Holbo's hilarious post on a bit of sloppy reasoning from Å½iÅ¾ek inspires a lovely comments thread, including a link to Å½iÅ¾ek's essay and one to Daryl Gregory's story Second Person, Present Tense.
➪	3% is spending the month profiling the authors who appear in Granta's Young Spanish-Language Novelists issue. Today they look at Andres Barba, whose story "Nocturne" was translated by Lisa Dillman.
➪	Paul Goble of Ukraine's KyivPost reports on the current state of controversy in the Central European former SSR's, over whether to use the Cyrillic or Latin alphabet. Good analysis from Mark Liberman at Language Log.
