I hope some of you will subscribe to the blog. You can get copies of entries in your email. There is a sign-up on the right on this page. Up until now, these entries are taken directly from this email newsletter. They are usually not original, just something about language and literature that has grabbed my attention. However, as the email is irregular, I plan to add items directly to the blog in the future. I have quite a backlog that I'd like to unload. So, unless you sign up, you might miss them.
