Proofreading in an earlier job made reading almost impossible!

Way back, when patents and newspapers were still printed on linotypes, I worked for a couple of years at a printer´s as a proofreader, or strictly a proofreader´s assistant, called a copyholder.

Read for pleasure Jul 5

My wife reads Borges in English. I read Borges in Spanish. We discuss Borges in Japanese. I am also reading a monograph on Feofan Grek, a Russian icon-painter.
