habitually probing generalist

In my recent Books Read in 2009 post I talked a bit about what I read last yea and a few other aspects of reading. In this post I want to touch on a few other issues, some of which are orthogonal ways of looking at what I read last year; so partially an update, [...]

Not sure what any of this means, or why, it is, or if, of importance. Much can be seen of my book reading habits over the last 3 years at this blog [see links at end of post]. According to previous posts, it looks like another banner year in the Lindner household for book reading. [...]

Back in March I wrote a longish post about “My personal journey into ebooks.” Things have since changed so I feel that I ought to add some commentary to those thoughts.

For assorted reasons my book reading greatly increased this past year. Based on that I split this list into two, posting the 1st half (or so) on 11 August in a post titled Books read in 1st half of 2008 (and some).
In the earlier post, I reported reading 26 books and re-reading 3 books. This [...]

Not sure where this blog is going this year. I said some things last year about where I wanted to take it / thought it might go and it got nowhere near any of those places.
I read through all of my posts for 2008 on the 1st and 2nd. Wow! What a year! Talk about [...]

I have remarked here before about how little poetry I have read in my life.  Most of it has been in the last few years, and most of that in the last year.
I wrote a couple of poems when I was an adolescent and/or teenager—when I use the word “poem” to refer to my own [...]

That is a complicated question for which I have very little that I can or will say directly.

I did just upgrade WordPress to the newest version so if anyone is still reading this feel free to click through to the blog proper and see if you see anything amiss. Thanks.
