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.

🦋 Serendipity

It is nice sometimes to happen on a book you're completely unfamiliar with, pick it up and see where it takes you. In the book box at Mountain Station this Friday, I found a copy of Orhan's Inheritance (2015), the first novel of Aline Ohanesian. Intrigued by the Turkish setting and wondering idly if the titular character's name was some kind of Pamuk reference :), I took it home. Started reading last night and sort of drifted off after ten pages. Started reading this morning and did not put the book down until I had finished it and read the author's note! Really engaging and well-told story.
